Pagan Pride of East Tennessee promotes religious diversity, works to eliminate prejudice and discrimination based on spiritual beliefs, and helps foster pride in pagan identity through education, activism, charity, and community. Pagan Pride of East Tennessee is an organization that helps coordinate events in the local pagan community and is based on the Pagan Pride Project. The largest of these events is Pagan Pride Day – held in the Autumn of each year, near the Equinox. The focus of this event is to bring the community together in a spirit of kinship, education, and tolerance. This event doubles as a food drive to benefit a large local food pantry.
