Why is Atlanta Pride in October?

Atlanta Pride was held in Piedmont Park every June to coincide with the national holiday until 2008, when drought conditions delayed the event until October. Since then, the event has taken place annually in October. The temperatures are considerably less hot and humid during the fall, making outdoor Pride festivities more comfortable. The timing aligns with National Coming Out Day on October 11.
