Rainbow Parade
5:00 P.M. - 6:00 p.m.
Our Rainbow Parade includes golf carts this year as well as walking groups! Carts are limited, so rent your 4 or 6-passenger before they’re gone!
No cart? No problem! You can still march, strut, and sparkle with us on foot. Register your large group or organization for FREE!
Night Market
6:00 P.M. - 9:00 p.m.
After we parade, stick around for a magical market under the stars. Shop, snack, mingle, and celebrate with local makers and vendors who love Pride as much as you do.
For business owners and organization leaders, being a vendor at our signature events is a great way to reach thousands of people!
Outdoor Movie
8:00 P.M. - 10:00 p.m.
End the night cozied up with friends and chosen family for a special movie screening under the night sky. (We’ll bring the big screen — you bring the vibes!)
Concessions will be available for purchase. Check back soon to find out what film we'll be enjoying!

The City of SPartanburg, SC
Where it all began
A year after UPSC was established as a 501(c)(3) organization in 2008, members of the Unitarian Universalist Church in Spartanburg organized the inaugural March & Festival, attracting around 500 participants in a powerful display of support for the LGBTQ+ community in 2009.
Since that first event in Spartanburg, who allied with UPSC first, they have consistently promoted equality and acceptance, with annual March & Festival attendance steadily increasing to thousands. The organization's visibility in local media has grown significantly, and it has continuously sought innovative ways to serve and uplift the Upstate community in partnership with the City of Spartanburg.
