"We are tremendously excited to bring BoroPride back to the Tennessee Miller Coliseum this year," said Dr. William Langston, member of the BoroPride Planning Committee. "The site was a perfect setting to celebrate the Murfreesboro and Middle Tennessee LGBTQ+ community. We look forward to returning this fall."

The ninth annual event will feature a kids zone, community information tables, vendors, your favorite food trucks, and more at Miller Coliseum. The BoroPride concert and an 18 and over drag show will be held at a separate location that evening. More details about the day’s events will be released as they become available.

"Pride is a moment to come together and celebrate our beautiful LGBTQ+ community," Leslie Russell Yost, chair of the BoroPride planning committee, said. "It's also a rally cry to keep pushing for visibility, equality, and justice. BoroPride 2024 will honor our past while energizing our future."
