Givens Communities was proud to once again join thousands of community members for the Blue Ridge Pride Festival 2026, celebrating inclusion, individuality, togetherness, and the freedom to be authentically oneself.
As a longtime sponsor of Blue Ridge Pride, Givens Communities is honored to support an organization and annual celebration that brings people together from across Western North Carolina and creates a welcoming space where everyone can feel a sense of belonging.
This year’s festival was filled with energy, joy, and community spirit. Attendees enjoyed an afternoon of live performances, local vendors, food and drinks, fun giveaways, and opportunities to connect with organizations and neighbors from throughout the region. From the stage performances to the conversations taking place throughout the festival, the day reflected the strength of a community coming together in celebration and support of one another.
Givens Communities team members and residents were excited to be part of the festivities, connecting with attendees and celebrating alongside the many individuals, families, organizations, businesses, and community partners who helped make the event special.
