While most pride celebrations for the year have already happened, Chattanooga pulls out its rainbow flags for its annual pride celebration taking place this weekend in honor of LGBTQIA+ History Month. Tennessee’s Scenic City will feature an array of festivities with many LGBTQIA+-owned restaurants and businesses opening their doors to visitors from near and far.
