“At our last in-person event we had more than 200,000 people over the course of a full weekend,” Matt says. Initially devised as a way to cope with the ever-changing rules of the pandemic, Pride Season offers attendees a chance to go to several smaller events rather than one huge celebration. This year for its 20th anniversary, Charlotte Pride weekend is now Charlotte Pride Season, which features several months of events like a parade, a concert, an interfaith service and more.
