Join us as we make history with the first Autistic Pride Day not only in Chattanooga, not only in the Southeast, but also one of the first autistic‑led Autistic Pride celebrations in the United States. This is a landmark moment for autistic culture, visibility, and community leadership in our region and beyond.International Autistic Pride Day is recognized globally on June 18th, and we’ll be hosting our local celebration on Saturday, June 20, 2026. This gives our community space to gather, participate, and shape a day that reflects who we are and what we value.
Autistic Pride Day 2026 is taking shape with clarity and purpose. The event will feature autistic‑led panel discussions on autistic joy, pride, culture, and the issues that matter within our community. We will also welcome local organizations, community partners, and small businesses to table and host vendor booths, creating direct opportunities to connect with Chattanooga’s neurodiverse community.
We are making neurodiversity visible in the Southeast—inviting you into an immersive autistic cultural experience built by and for autistic people.
Whether you’re autistic, neurodivergent, an ally, or simply curious, you are welcome. Your presence and participation help shape this historic celebration.
