Forget subtle. Nashville is turning up the volume in June, rolling out the pink carpet for Nashville Pride Month. Whether you're here for the music, the marches, the drag, or just a well-timed excuse to wear sequins and all things glittery, there's something for everyone!

Things kicked off on May 30 with Bath & Body, Nashville's Pride Rooftop Pool Party at Virgin Hotels. Think sun, beats, poolside drinks, and a performance from Shea Couleé. But that was just the beginning. The June calendar is stacked, and we're here for it. Check out the third annual Pride Deadlift Party on June 7, which combines lifting heavy things with lifting spirits. Whether you're benching 200 pounds or just holding up your emotional support iced coffee, it's all about strength and solidarity.
Then on June 13, it's time for Turnabout, where Nashville Pride board members ditch their day jobs and step into heels for a night of charity drag at Play Dance Bar. (Spoiler: some of them are really good. Others are just supremely brave. We love both.)
Not to be outdone, the Nashville Pride Pageant struts in on June 15, with a theme inspired by ancient Egypt … Because nothing says 'divine and powerful' like channeling Cleopatra in rhinestones.
Feeling introspective? Spirituality Night on June 18 offers a quiet moment to reflect and reconnect before the main event roars to life at the end of the month.
Mark your calendar for June 27, when Grammy-winning pop phenom Kim Petras headlines the Friday Night Concert at Bicentennial Capitol Mall State Park. She'll be joined by Estelle (of 'American Boy' fame), Empress Of, and Kylie Sonique Love.

Then comes the Pride Parade on Saturday, June 28, with more than 140 entries, music, floats, and rainbows galore. Grand Marshals include power couple Glennon Doyle and Abby Wambach, plus singer-songwriter Joy Oladokun.
The weekend festival (June 28 and 29) features a lineup that reads like your most colorful playlist: Big Freedia with Nashville in Harmony, 4 Non Blondes' Linda Perry, Jake Wesley Rogers, The Knocks & Dragonette, GAYLE, and more. Add in over 50 drag performances, three stages, food trucks, cocktails, art installations, and a vendor market, and you've got something for every flavor of fabulous.
Think that's all? Think again.
Saturday night keeps the party going with the Pink Pony Pride After Party hosted by the incomparable Willam at Play Dance Bar.
So, dust off your boots (or heels), grab your favorite flag, and get ready to show up and show out. Whether you're marching, dancing, lifting, singing, or just soaking it all in, Nashville Pride is here to ensure everyone feels seen, celebrated, and completely at home.
