Our Mission

The purpose of St Pete Pride is to promote unity, visibility, self-esteem and a positive image of and among the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBTQ+) community of Tampa Bay and throughout the State of Florida by way of cultural and educational programs and activities.
PrideFest’s final event in North and South Straub Park, capped off with a waterfront fireworks show.

About this final event

PrideFest’s final weekend will invite visitors to spend an evening along the beautiful downtown waterfront enjoying picnics, musical performances, and a fireworks display that will cap off PrideFest in dramatic fashion. Food and drinks will be available for purchase. DoorDash will be hosting a Stock the Pantry Party that benefits the St. Pete Free Clinic Food Pantry & St. Pete Youth Farm, so please consider bringing a non-perishable item to donate at their tent!

All week long, be sure to ask your favorite bar or restaurant if they are participating in Taste of PrideFest. Participating locations will be joining Pride celebrations by hosting a $5 "PrideFest" food or drink special. Be sure to show some love to the businesses who love and support the LGBTQ+ community!
