Celebrate Pride, Celebrate DeKalb: A Welcoming Spot for All

As Pride Month comes to a close, we’re reflecting on the vibrant energy, powerful stories, and joyful celebrations that filled DeKalb County this June. From parades and festivals to inclusive local events and community gatherings, Pride in DeKalb was a reminder of what makes our area so special: diversity, acceptance, and a whole lot of love.

At Discover DeKalb, we believe that Pride is more than a month—it’s a mindset. Our communities thrive when everyone feels seen, safe, and celebrated. Whether you joined us at a local drag brunch, explored LGBTQ+-owned businesses, or snapped a selfie under one of our colorful murals, we hope you felt the warmth of DeKalb’s inclusive spirit.

A Welcoming Spot for All

DeKalb is home to a rich tapestry of cultures, perspectives, and identities. Cities like Decatur, Stone Mountain, Chamblee, and Tucker offer LGBTQ+ residents and visitors spaces that feel like home—whether you're sipping a cold brew at a locally owned coffeehouse, catching a live show at a neighborhood venue, or enjoying the serenity of Arabia Mountain.

We’re proud to support year-round inclusivity by spotlighting businesses, events, and organizations that lift up the LGBTQ+ community—not just during June, but every single day.

Keep the Celebration Going

Pride may be wrapping up, but DeKalb is always ready to celebrate you. Visit us year-round to experience our welcoming vibes, diverse food scene, unique cultural landmarks, and the sense of community that keeps people coming back.
