The first 25 people to join the group will receive a Vanderbilt PRIDE t-shirt. If you would like to walk and receive a shirt (while supplies last), email Jay Bohanon at jay.bohanon@vanderbilt.edu.

The 2019 Nashville Pride Festival is scheduled for 10 a.m.–9 p.m. Saturday, June 22, and noon–6 p.m. Sunday, June 23, at Public Square Park in downtown Nashville. The festival will feature over 200 vendors, three stages with local and national touring acts, a kids and family zone, youth area, dance tent and much more.
