FRIDAY NIGHT KICKOFF: Where It All Began
We return to Grand Central to launch Pride Weekend where our roots run deep. As evening falls, music and energy fill the streets, honoring the joy, visibility, and community that sparked it all and set the tone for the weekend ahead.
SATURDAY PICKLEBALL TOURNAMENT
Serve, rally, and connect at St Pete Pride’s Pickleball Tournament, a fun, beginner-to-intermediate event in the Sunshine City. This friendly competition brings players together for movement, laughter, and Pride—on and off the court.
SATURDAY SUNSET on the BEACH PARTY
Celebrate Pride by the water as the sun dips below the horizon and the shoreline comes alive. With music, movement, and ocean air, this beachside gathering blends golden-hour vibes with unforgettable energy.
SUNDAYS are a DRAG Brunch:
Wrap up the weekend with sparkle, sass, and standout performances at Sunday’s Drag Brunch. Big personalities, bold looks, and brunch favorites come together for a joyful daytime celebration of Pride.
