Pride is more than just a month in Atlanta—big celebrations happen year round. And while the city celebrates Pride month along with the rest of the country in June, everyone knows Atlanta’s major Pride celebrations happen in September and October during Black Pride Weekend and the Atlanta Pride Festival. There’s plenty to eat, drink, and see—sip wine on a rooftop, eat free BBQ during a day party, or dare to set sail on a Lake Lanier booze cruise with an all-you-can-eat Caribbean buffet.
