Pride With Purpose
About Blount Pride
Blount Pride was founded in 2019, the result of a community conversation intended to ascertain the needs of Blount County’s LGBTQ+ community. The first Blount Pride festival was held on August 24, 2019. After a long pause due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Blount Pride’s second festival was held in 2022. Since then, we have continued to refine our mission and activities, taking a stand in the courts to uphold the First Amendment rights of drag performers, overcoming discrimination at the hands of local governments and institutions, providing direct support to those in need, and putting on an amazing festival ever year to celebrate our vibrant community.
