Greensboro Pride Parade & Festival

The Greensboro Pride Parade & Festival is IMPAQT GSO’s largest annual celebration of LGBTQIA+ visibility, culture, and community. Held each Fall in the heart of downtown Greensboro, the event brings together tens of thousands of attendees for a full day of entertainment, connection, and pride.

The Pride Parade—returning in 2026 for the first time in nearly 30 years—features marching contingents, floats, community groups, local businesses, and grand marshals who embody the values of inclusion and equity. The parade route moves through downtown and opens the day with energy, color, and a powerful message of unity.

Following the parade, the Greensboro Pride Festival transforms the area in and around LeBauer Park into a vibrant open-air celebration. The festival features live performances, local and national entertainers, interactive sponsor zones, nonprofit and community resource booths, food and beverage vendors, and more than 300 exhibitors. While LeBauer Park serves as the central hub for the event—including the LeBauer stage and the VIP experience—no vendors are located inside the park itself, preserving the space for programming, comfort, and accessibility.

As one of the largest Pride events in North Carolina—and the signature program of IMPAQT GSO—the Greensboro Pride Parade & Festival plays a vital role in advancing visibility, fostering belonging, and celebrating the diverse identities that make the Triad stronger.

Whether you join us as a guest, vendor, sponsor, volunteer, or community partner, Greensboro Pride offers a place for everyone to be seen, celebrated, and connected.
