Join AFFA as we take to the streets and celebrate at the 17th Annual Charleston Pride Parade and Festival!

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, AFFA will once again be walking and riding in the Charleston Pride Parade in historic Downtown Charleston - and we want you with us!

Whether you want to walk alongside our group or ride on our float, this is your chance to show up, show out, and celebrate Pride in community. Registration to join AFFA in the parade is now open, and everyone who signs up to walk or ride with us will receive a free AFFA shirt to wear during the parade.

Register to walk or ride in the

Charleston Pride Parade with AFFA here!

The parade kicks off at 9:00 AM at Wragg Square and winds through downtown, bringing together organizations, advocates, and community members for a vibrant, high-energy start to Pride day.

After the parade, keep the celebration going with us at the Charleston Pride Festival. AFFA will be tabling at the festival from 12:00 to 5:00 PM at Building 64. Stop by our table for fun activities, connect with our team, and grab plenty of goodies to take home. If you’d like to help man the table at the Festival, fill out our volunteer form here.

The festival is free to attend, with gates opening at 11:00 AM and performances starting at noon. Expect a full day of art, music, drag, vendors, community, and joy.

Pride is about showing up for each other - and there’s no better way to do that than celebrating together in Charleston. Sign up, bring your friends, and we’ll see you at Pride.
