About
Nashville Pagan Pride Day
Welcome to the 22nd annual Nashville Pagan Pride Day! Join us for a day of music, workshops, great food, and awesome rituals at
Two Rivers Park on October 3, 2026, from 10 am to 5 pm.
Paganism is one of the fastest-growing religious groups in the United States today, and we’re coming out to celebrate our unity and our diversity as a group of religious paths focused on nurturing our connections to the Divine, the Earth, and each other.
This is a free event. We do request a nonperishable donation for our designated charity, Second Harvest of Middle Tennessee.
Check back here frequently for news and updates! You can also find us on Facebook.
