Chattanooga Pride Parade & Festival 2026

Chattanooga Pride's 2026 Parade and Festival, themed "A River of Color," is Saturday, October 17, from noon to 8 PM at Ross's Landing, 201 Riverfront Parkway on the downtown riverfront. It closes out a week of Pride events around the city, and Chattanooga Pride says it is the last year at Ross's Landing because of construction.

The festival lists drag performances and live entertainment, food and vendor booths, games for families, and a VIP tent with a meet and greet with an international headliner (not yet announced as of early October). General admission is sliding scale. VIP is $75 and includes entry, the VIP tent, a swag bag and the meet and greet. An after party is sold separately, $20 general admission or $40 VIP.

The parade route and start time had not been posted as of early October, so check chattanoogapride.com for final details. The 2027 date and location have not been announced.
