Charlotte Pride Week is held annually beginning the week before the Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade as a celebration of diversity in the Charlotte region — a celebration of who we are, where we have been and, most importantly, where we are going. Charlotte Pride Week features events by organizations, companies and fellow community members that support the LGBTQ community. This year’s Charlotte Pride Week will begin Aug. 12, culminating with the Charlotte Pride Festival, Aug. 20-21, and Charlotte Pride Parade, Aug. 21.
Charlotte Pride depends upon the partnership and collaboration of local LGBTQ organizations and LGBTQ-friendly companies to make our Charlotte Pride Week a success. Organizations that plan to host community events between Aug. 12-21 are encouraged to submit their event/project to us. Only events submitted to us make it into our official Charlotte Pride Week calendar of events.
Charlotte Pride can help you market and promote your event:
• On our website’s calendar of events
• In our annual Charlotte Pride Guide, published and distributed before the festival and parade
• In our email newsletter, reaching thousands of local and regional community members
• Through our media relations team’s outreach to local newspapers, TV stations and radio
Fill out the linked form below with information about your planned event so we can begin to help you market and promote it. Please indicate on the form if there are other areas where we might assist, but, primarily, Charlotte Pride will work to publicize your event on our website or in our Pride Guide or elsewhere. Please submit information that is as near-complete as possible. We’ll follow up if we’re missing any information needed for promotion.
The preferred deadline for inclusion in the Charlotte Pride Guide is June 15.
Also, please note: Your community event is planned and executed solely by you, your organization or your business. Submitted events cannot conflict with Charlotte Pride Festival and Parade hours or other official events or activities hosted by Charlotte Pride.

If you are looking for a game for your iPhone or Android, try clash of clans. This free game was designed by Supercell. Its main idea is competition for resources and wars between different clans. You will have to build your town hall, gold drill, elixir drill, elixir and gold storage, as well as to develop different weapons to make the campaign. Though you will have to develop some weapons, you will have some at the beginning as well. These include cannons, mortars, air defense and an archer. You can play both individually or you can form a clan of up to 50 members. The game allows declaring a clan war when your clan include 10 members and do not exceed 50 members.
