Central Alabama Pride announced that Selma-native Asher HaVon will take the main stage at PrideFest on Sunday, June 14, at Linn Park.

HaVon gained national recognition by winning Season 25 of NBC’s “The Voice” in 2024, securing the first-ever team championship for country music star Reba McEntire.

The powerhouse vocalist also made television history as the first openly LGBTQ+ contestant to win the reality competition series.

Known for blending deep gospel roots with soul and R&B, HaVon’s upcoming performance marks a major homecoming for the local singer.
