Columbia Pride 2025 will be Saturday, October 25 at Riverwalk Park! Last year, you helped us make LGBTQIA+ history once again in Columbia, TN. This year our theme is: Pride Lives Here. All Year. The LGBTQIA+ community lives, works, plays, and thrives right here in Columbia. We are an essential part of our local culture and economy—and Pride helps affirm that we belong and are valued. Together, we make Columbia a place where Pride truly lives not just in June or October, but year-round. You might be wondering why we celebrate in October. Here’s why: 1️⃣ June is jam-packed with amazing local Prides in Pulaski, Murfreesboro, Cookeville, Franklin, and Nashville — and we want folks to enjoy and support them all, without having to choose. 2️⃣ It’s hot in June — like, dangerously hot. We've had volunteers get sick and sponsors unable to participate. October gives us cooler weather, safer conditions, and more time to celebrate with you! Plus, October is LGBTQIA+ History Month — what better time to honor the past and celebrate our future? So enjoy all the beautiful Prides this month, and then come party with us in the fall! 🏳️🌈
