Our mission is for charitable purposes benefiting the rights, equality, and general well being of the LGBT community in the South Georgia area. It was formed in 2008 as Valdosta Diversity Pride, part of the Valdosta State University Gay-Straight Alliance.
Our History
It was decided in 2009 that Valdosta Diversity Pride would become an independent organization from the VSU campus. The first Pride festival had good sponsorship, but was met with limited success.
2012 featured the most successful pride to date. Entertainers and spokespeople from across the country graced the amphitheater of Saunders Park. Strong support from not only the Valdosta Community, but also Atlanta, Jacksonville, Gainesville and other cities raised attendance to over 2000 people!
South Georgia Pride begins 2024 with a new website, an expanded board of directors, and the goal of an even more fabulous Pride. So stay tuned as we work to make 2024 the best year yet!
