Celebrate Pride Beneath the Waves

Start your Atlanta Pride weekend festivities at the most iconic attraction. Meet old and new friends while exploring the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere. The music and jaw-dropping décor are sure to dazzle! This award-winning event is one of the best LGBTQ+ parties in Atlanta. Experience a variety of music from three different DJs scattered throughout different areas of the Aquarium, turning into one of the largest LGBTQ+ clubs in Atlanta. For 2025, we will welcome international superstar DJ Shane Marcus (NYC), DJ Kevin Durard (Atlanta), DJ Brian Rojas (Deep South), and DJ Amy Alderman (Richmond, VA) spinning in a hidden location under 6.3 million gallons of water.

New for 2025

Dolphin Pride Celebration

The return of our Dolphin Pride Celebration features fun marine facts, a live training demonstration, and educates guests about the Aquarium’s efforts in preserving this extraordinary species. The presentation is fun and engaging, and the dolphins may even hint to their favorite holiday, “Haunted Pride.” Theater seating is on a first-come, first-served basis. We recommend arriving at least 30 minutes before the presentation. Known for their agility and playful social behavior, our dolphins are a must-sea at Georgia Aquarium!

Dolphin Theater opens at 7:30 PM, with the presentation starting promptly at 8:00 PM. First come, first served. No late entry allowed due to special effects.
