Proud in DeKalb: Hello June

June has officially arrived in DeKalb County — bringing sunshine, celebration, connection, and a whole lot of color with it.

As we step into a new month, we’re welcoming everything that makes this season special: patio dinners, live music, festivals, outdoor adventures, unforgettable events, and the joy of discovering community around every corner. And this June, we’re especially proud to celebrate Pride Month across DeKalb.

At Discover DeKalb, Pride Month is about more than rainbow colors — it’s about honoring authenticity, uplifting voices, celebrating creativity, and creating spaces where everyone feels seen, welcomed, and celebrated.

From local businesses and restaurants to artists, creators, community leaders, and events happening throughout the county, DeKalb shines brightest when everyone can show up exactly as they are.

Whether you're exploring one of our vibrant downtown districts, supporting local LGBTQ+ owned businesses, attending community events, or simply soaking in the energy of summer, there’s a place for you here.

This month also marks the beginning of a season full of experiences across DeKalb:• Outdoor concerts and festivals• Local eats and hidden gems• Family-friendly adventures• Arts and culture experiences• Summer staycations and weekend escapes• Community moments that bring people together

And while June is a celebration, it’s also a reminder that what makes DeKalb special is the people who make up our community every single day.

So here’s to a month filled with joy, discovery, inclusion, and unforgettable memories.

Happy Pride Month from all of us at Discover DeKalb.
