If you haven't been to a St. Pete Pride Parade, this is your year. Florida's Largest Pride Parade takes over Bayshore Drive in downtown St. Pete — and the celebration runs all day long. Come early, stay late, and bring your whole crew!
The Festival (2–10 PM)
The party starts long before the parade! Head to North and South Straub Parks from 2 PM for:
- Live music, local entertainers, and artists
- 100+ booths and vendors
- Food and drinks for purchase
- Community organizations and resources
The Parade (Steps off at 6 PM)
The parade steps off from Albert Whitted Park near Al Lang Stadium at 6 PM, traveling north along Bayshore Drive all the way to Vinoy Park. Expect 100+ marching groups, colorful floats, tons of swag, and confetti, plus the kind of energy that only Florida's Largest LGBTQIA+ celebration can bring. Grab your Pride flags and dancing shoes, this one is unforgettable!
Good to Know
- The parade and festival are FREE and open to the public
- Pet-friendly, but keep in mind it'll be warm, loud, and packed — plan accordingly!
- Bring cash or a card for food, drinks, and souvenirs
Getting There
We strongly recommend rideshare (Uber/Lyft) or PSTA public transportation — June is a busy time in St. Pete! Free parking is available from 11 AM–midnight at:
- St. Petersburg High School (2501 5th Ave N)

Free shuttles run from all three locations to the parade route. Road closures along Bayshore Drive begin at 1 PM, and St. Pete Pier parking lots will be closed to vehicles during the event.
