Pride on Main 2026 begins with a powerful morning of community voices and celebration in the heart of downtown Waynesville.
We’ll gather first at the Haywood County Courthouse for speeches led by community members and special guest Parade Marshal Flamy Grant, honoring the resilience, visibility, and joy of LGBTQ+ lives in Western North Carolina. From there, the celebration moves into the streets for the Pride on Main Parade, a vibrant procession through downtown filled with color, music, and community spirit.
After the parade, the day continues at the Pride on Main Festival on Wall Street, transforming downtown into a lively hub of entertainment, connection, and creativity. Enjoy live musical performances, wrestling, roaming buskers, and more than 80 local vendors showcasing art, food, and community resources.
