In recent years, the Atlanta Pride Celebration brought over 350,000 people together for Atlanta Pride weekend, according to the Atlanta Pride Committee. The city’s moratorium does not allow permits for events with more than 50,000 people based on recommendations from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The Atlanta Pride Committee said they consulted with a number of medical personnel, and confirmed the City of Atlanta’s moratorium on issuing Class A permits, before ultimately deciding to cancel the ever-popular festival and parade. 9-10, have been canceled, as the city continues to fight a surge in COVID-19 cases. Atlanta Pride announced Wednesday the parade, and other in-person Pride events scheduled for Oct.
