South Beach is a unique and diverse community with a global, warm and
welcoming vibe. To celebrate the LGBT community and their allies, South
Beach hosts the GAY PRIDE PARADE each year to promote tolerance,
education and awareness. The 2011 parade attracted over 35,000 people
who enjoyed the music, dancing and colorful attire that made Ocean Drive
a part of the rainbow community. The 4th annual event will be held on
April 15, 2012 with a kick-off reception, a parade, a Lambda showcase
and an after party.
Led by Miami Beach Mayor Matti Herrera, the 2012 Festival will kick off
at noon with celebrity guests, musical performances, refreshment vendors
and a family-friendly play zone. Part of a week long celebration, Gay
Pride week will include a gay cruise and a legacy celebration honoring
LGBT couples who have been in committed relationships for more than 20
years. Interested couples of more than five or ten years can also post
retro and recent photographs at the MiamiBeachGayPride.com website where
current galleries feature men and women who've celebrated up to 56 years
together.
If you plan to attend the next Gay Pride Parade and Festival, all events
along Ocean Drive run from noon- 7pm and are free to the public. Parking
is available at city garages at 13th & Collins and 7th and Collins on a
first-come-first-served basis. Schedules for other events, parties and
the Pride Cruise will be posted at the official website a few months
before April's main event. Links are also provided for Tampa,
Jacksonville and Key West Pride events.
