BR Pride Fest

Established to foster a sense of community among Baton Rouge's LGBTQIA+ community and its allies, Baton Rouge Pride Fest has grown to one of Louisiana's largest Pride celebrations, attracting thousands of visitors each year. The festival centers around a Community Resource Fair showcasing the Baton Rouge area's non-profits and social-services organizations—with a special designated LGBTQIA+ marketplace called the "Queerative Market," presented in partnership with the arts initiative LEUR. Plus, plenty of entertainment will be provided by local performers and drag queens, including A'Keria Davenport, Eureka O'Hara, and Taylor Dayne. It all takes place at the Raising Cane's River Center's Exhibition Halls, River View Room, and Galleria. Noon–7 pm, open to all ages. Free. brpride.org.
