Pride of Holly Springs is scheduled for Saturday, September 26th to celebrate, uplift, and stand with our LGBTQIA+ community. Through joyful events, inclusive spaces, and educational programs, Holly Springs works to build a town where everyone especially those from historically excluded identities feels seen, safe, and valued. Holly Springs believes that true community thrives on connection, equity, and pride. 

This year's Pride theme "Always Forward, Never Straight: Preserving History, Coming Home" emphasizes Durham's collective commitment to moving our justice work Forward in dignity, love, and perseverance. Of course, there's not one "normal" or "straight" way to do that, and we celebrate the authentic, expansive, and liberated ways many of us show up in Durham. And as we continue advocating for LGBTQ+ people, families, groups, and causes, there are two particular strategies we highlight for 2026.
