Today, we come together with a shared sense of purpose and resilience as we recognize the challenges faced by the Middle Georgia community in light of the recent actions taken by the new administration. While it's natural to feel a mix of emotions, let us remember that Macon Pride is here, steadfast in our commitment to our local LGBTQIA+ family. With each step forward, we can create a brighter future for our community. And, that is why we are announcing today that Macon Pride will be moving to a year-round model focused on providing more opportunities for Middle Georgia's LGBTQIA+ community to gather and grow together. Don't worry! Our September Pride Festival is not going anywhere. This year's festival will be on Thurs. September 25-Sun. September 28, 2025 with four pride-packed days of fun and entertainment. What will never change is our commitment to advance unity, visibility and self-esteem among LGBTQIA+ persons and our allies and to promote a positive image in the Middle Georgia area through community activities and service. Macon Pride believes in educating our community, celebrating our diversity, commemorating our history, and liberating our people in the Middle Georgia region. You will now be able to celebrate diversity and foster safe, inclusive spaces for everyone year-round. We won't stop fighting for equality and recognition. We won't stop caring for one another and advocating for love over hate. We won't stop believing in inclusion. And we hope you join us.
