WNC Trans+ Pride
Protest for Trans rights

By trans+ folks,

For trans+ folks.

Blue Ridge Pride is excited to partner with Youth OUTright and Tranzmission to present WNC Trans+ Pride, the first ever transgender pride event in Asheville!

This is a celebration of transgender, non-binary, intersex, Two-Spirit, and all gender non-conforming people.

Join us at Hi-Wire Brewing in Biltmore Village (2A Huntsman Place, Asheville, NC) on June 21, 12 PM to 6 PM—all ages welcome!

Trans+ vendors

nonprofits, food trucks / restaurants, artists, merchants, organizations, healthcare networks, and businesses focused on trans community & resilience

Trans+ safety

as an alternative to police presence, we plan to incorporate trained community members who are well versed in de-escalation, trauma-informed care, and community safety.

Trans+ workshops

skillshares, presentations, yoga/
physical wellness, info-sharing, intergenerational conversations, counseling spaces, and advocacy relating to trans+ communities
and our needs

Trans+ performers

musicians, drag performers, comics, dancers, performance artists who identify as trans+

Trans+ resource sharing

clothing swaps, free binding / tucking supplies, health and wellness items, trans+ library & educational resources, survival essentials, etc.

Trans+ social connection

trans+ folks need safe spaces to connect with other folks with shared identities and experiences- especially trans+ youth in this moment of increased discrimination and infringement upon self-expression. Representation matters! And seeing trans+ folks of all ages in their beauty and expansiveness is so important for youth- and all people- to feel as though they belong and are deserving of care, community, and safety.
