About It's Pride Y'all Festival!
MS Capital City Pride's first festival took place in 2021 at the Smith Wills Stadium, and since then It's Pride Y'all Festival has grown and evolved. Continuing to be a space for celebration, joy, pride, expression, and support of all in the LGBTQIA+ community, the festival changes to meet the needs of the community and people it supports.
