It’s Pride this Saturday! Ride for free and without hassle on Saturday, Sept 26 to Blue Ridge Pride Festival compliments of Student Community Coordinators for Women Gender Sexuality Studies. All you have to do is sign in (analog style) as you enter the shuttle. Please share with UNC Asheville students, faculty, and staff.

The family-friendly festival runs from NOON to 6 pm (as does the shuttle) with stage performances (music, drag) every 40 minutes and over 250 vendors (remember those years when UNCA hosted table-top games at Pride? We are still here.).

The shuttle will do a continual loop from the bulldog statue in front of the Admissions Building / Highsmith Union area to a drop off / pick up at Twisted Laurel on the corner of College Street and Spruce Street, which is right across from the public health centered “mid-park” section of the festival.
