Atlanta's circuit peaks twice. Labor Day belongs to Atlanta Black Pride — one of the largest Black Pride celebrations in the country — with a full run of pool parties, day parties, and mega-nights like The Blueprint and the Labor Day White Party. Then October brings Atlanta Pride and its own wave of parties. Year-round, the floors that matter are the Heretic (home to Bearracuda and the Pride-weekend blowouts) and the Atlanta Eagle, which hosts Leather Pride in July. Pick your weekend and build around it — Atlanta gives you more than one to choose from.
