April 23, 2024 Blount Pride Fest 2024 As of April the event had not been announced. This Festival is normally held in the Fall in Blount County Tennessee. The 2023 event was a private event with monitored entry, photo id checks and wrist bands admittance. these were efforts to make the space safe for attendees. (I enjoyed the event and thought the volunteers did a wonderful job making it welcoming but unincumbered by protesters. )
