Sea You at Pride!

Celebrate pride, connection, and pure party vibes at one of Atlanta’s most iconic LGBTQ+ events! Georgia Aquarium is transformed into an electric, underwater playground filled with dazzling décor, high-energy music, and thousands of aquatic animals as your backdrop. Whether you’re reuniting with old friends or making new ones, this award-winning celebration promises an unforgettable night in the largest aquarium in the Western Hemisphere.

Feel the beat with four live DJs spinning across unique spaces throughout the Aquarium, turning every corner into a dance floor. For 2025, we’re amped to welcome DJ Shane Marcus (New York City), DJ Kevin DuRard (Atlanta), DJ Brian Rojas (Deep South), and DJ Amy Alderman (Richmond, VA). One of these sets will be tucked away in a hidden location—beneath 6.3 million gallons of water—for a truly immersive dance experience you won’t want to miss.
