South Carolina Pride in October
SC Pride Parade & Get Lit Concert | Friday, October 14, 2022
Start your weekend with a night parade down Main Street, starting at 7:30 PM. If you’re planning to watch from the sidelines, find the perfect spot along Main, anywhere between Laurel and Lady Streets. Bonus points for snagging an outdoor table somewhere like The Grand or Lula Drake for some of the best seats in the house.
You’ll see colorfully lit floats and cars, creative costumes, and tons of positive energy, all with music that will make you want to dance. When the parade is over, the party doesn’t end. Follow it all up with the Get Lit street dance and concert at 8 PM.
