As Pride Month has seen multiple celebrations in smaller cities and townships of North Carolina, events in the bigger cities are yet to come. From August to September, Charlotte, along with Greensboro and Durham, still have Pride events that will proudly display rainbow flags and welcome LGBTQ+ crowds and allies.
Here’s a list of the upcoming events you can expect in the final week of June, as well as August and September.
