Nashville Pride Turnabout 2026

About Nashville Pride Turnabout 2026

The Nashville Pride Turnabout 2026 turns the tables on Friday, June 12, when community members and local leaders step into drag for one of the most warm-hearted nights on the Nashville Pride calendar. Doors are at 7 p.m. at Play Dance Bar, the longtime LGBTQ+ anchor at 1519 Church St in the Church Street district just off Midtown. This is an official Nashville Pride fundraiser, so every dollar from the night goes back into the festival and the year-round programming that keeps this community thriving. Expect a campy, big-hearted lineup of first-time performers and familiar faces hamming it up onstage, with all the lip-syncs, costume reveals, and cheering you'd hope for. Play sits right in the heart of the Church Street strip, which is the easiest part of town to do car-free. Downtown and Midtown are walkable, WeGo buses run nearby, and a rideshare drop-off is the smart move on a Pride weekend when street parking around Church Street gets eaten up fast. This is a 21+ club, so bring ID. Ticket details for the fundraiser can shift year to year, so check the official Nashville Pride page for the exact price and whether anything is included with entry. Here's the local tip: get there close to doors rather than fashionably late. Turnabout draws a tight-knit crowd that fills Play quickly, and the early acts are often the ones nobody expects, the regulars and organizers who only do this once a year. Tip your performers in cash, since it's all going to a good cause.
