Boone Pride Parade and Festival

Bring your PRIDE — wagons, bikes, trikes, families, unicycles, pets, strollers, wheelchairs — and join LGBTQ+ community members and Allies from throughout the High Country and beyond as we parade down King St. in the heart of Downtown Boone and end up at the biggest Boone Pride Festival yet with dozens of performers and vendors! Gather and park at 132 Poplar Grove Connector (Watauga Social Services Building) beginning at 11am. The parade will commence on King Street starting at 12pm. You can also find additional parking at the Watauga County Parking Deck (140 N. Water St.). More parking information will be provided via our social media accounts as we get closer to the event. Festival begins immediately following the parade at 1pm in the parking lot of the Watauga Agricultural Center lower lot off Poplar Grove Rd beside Rivers Walk apartments.
