September 21st!

The festival will begin at 11:00am and end at 7:00pm

The vendor application is live on our website. Please find it here.

We partner with The Radical Hotel for discounted rooms the weekend of the Festival. Book your room today!

In 2023, we moved from a festival sponsorship model to an organization sponsorship model. You can apply to become a sponsor here!

The entertainment application will be release in late Spring of 2024 and will be linked on our website under “Festival” at that time.

In lieu of a parade, we have an annual walking procession which leads into the park and kicks off the festival. The procession is free to participate in and we encourage you to show off your best pride gear!

Absolutely! We strive to ensure that Blue Ridge Pride Festival is inclusive to all.

Dogs are not allowed at the park other than pre-approved animal shelter/veterinary vendors. Service dogs welcome.

We understand that large events can sometimes become overwhelming, causing anxiety, panic attacks, or negative reactions to sensory challenges. That's why we have created a dedicated calming space just for you. Whether you need a moment of peace, a place to relax and gather your thoughts, or support during a difficult moment, our calming space is here to provide a safe and comfortable environment. Look out for signs pointing you to the calming space, and our friendly volunteers will be more than happy to guide you. We want you to have the best possible experience at our festival, and we're committed to providing a supportive environment for all. Take care of yourself and know that we're here to support you. Enjoy the festival!

Location will be posted at a later date.
