What happens at Key West Pride?

Key West Pride has evolved significantly since its inception. It was initially propelled by the local LGBTQ+ community's efforts, supported by the Key West Business Guild, which was established in 1978 to bolster LGBTQ+ visibility and tourism in Key West. The annual Pride celebration features a vibrant parade, a street fair, and a variety of parties and events that span several days. These festivities not only underscore the inclusive spirit of Key West but also promote LGBTQ+ businesses and culture. The Pride events are designed to offer something for everyone, from lively parades and exclusive parties to family-friendly activities and cultural exhibits.

What's the Key West Pride parade route?

The Key West Pride Parade has a well-defined route that ensures it covers key areas of the city, making it a festive and visible event.
