Signal Fest 2026 brings Atlanta Black Pride Weekend to life — seven days of connection, wellness, entertainment, and community running September 1–7, 2026. The week opens with Welcome to Atlanta and community group therapy sessions, picks up with Signal Fest Karaoke Night and the red carpet premiere of Porn Made You Look: The Bobby Blake Story, builds through adults-only late nights at SWET and The Dungeon, and reaches its crown jewel on Sunday: The Gay Prom — A Night to Reign. We close it all out with a full day at Six Flags.

Here's your first look at Signal Fest 2026. More experiences, locations, and surprises will be announced as Pride Weekend approaches.
End It Atlanta presents The All-White Unity March — Marching Toward an HIV-Free Atlanta.

A community group therapy and healing session on healthy connections — consent, communication, boundaries, and wellness. In partnership with the Fulton County Board of Health.
Experience a special film presentation celebrating the extraordinary life and legacy of Bobby Blake.

Brunch with a little attitude. Come through for a raw, ratchet, and hilarious drag show while you eat — big personalities, bigger numbers, and Southern comfort food to match.

These events are part of the Signal Fest plan, but their dates, times, or locations are still being finalized.
In addition to Wednesday's virtual session, more group therapy and healing conversations are being planned throughout Pride Weekend — supportive spaces to talk, listen, reflect, and connect around relationships, identity, family, grief, mental wellness, and the experiences we often carry alone.
