Chattanooga Pride Week 2010 Announced

Tennessee Valley Pride Board of Directors unanimously voted to hold this year’s Chattanooga Pride festival on Sunday October 17, 2010. The event will, as always, be free and open to the public. In response to last year’s overwhelming turn out, the festival will be held at Miller Plaza, in Downtown Chattanooga. The venue sits adjacent to federal and city government building as serves as a fitting backdrop on such an important day.

TVP is currently exploring and finalizing plans for several events to be held during the week long festivities. Among the events scheduled are a meet and greet with city leaders to discuss issues of GLBT importance. Choral and Theatre productions, Comedy night and a candle light vigil are also on the agenda for the week. More information will become available as events are finalized. Check the TVP website at www.TennesseeValleyPride.com regularly for more updates.
