Why June? Why Now? Why Us.

For a city with as much cultural weight as Asheville, a dedicated June Pride celebration that matches what this community actually is has been missing. We are building it. Asheville Pride Fest is a high-energy, arts-driven, community-built event that takes place in the River Arts District on Saturday, June 27, 2026. This isn't about replacing anything; it’s about making sure Asheville’s voice is part of the larger June chorus, on purpose.
