WNC Welcoming Procession

On Saturday, September 21st, we will kick off the Thirteenth Annual Blue Ridge Pride Festival with a procession through the city of Asheville.

Join us as we proceed across the city and into the heart of the festival. We start gathering at 9:30 am at 16 South French Broad Ave. Please park elsewhere as parking will be closed while we gather in this lot. We will begin our procession at 10:30 am. Whether you are a business, a group, a congregation, community, family, solo, or a pack of friends—join us on this half-mile journey.

We encourage you to make signs, carry a banner, wave your flags, and show your Pride! This procession is inclusive and we welcome anyone who supports the rights of the LGBTQIA2S+ community.

Registration is closed for this year’s procession, but all are welcome to join along behind our procession as we march down Patton Ave. For those with mobility impairments, our partner Sunrise Community for Recovery and Wellness will be providing a passenger shuttle from the 16 South French Broad parking lot to Pack Square after our procession and throughout the day—find more info here:
