Select Days
Celebrate Orgullo, the first Hispanic and Indigenous LGBTQ festival in Greater Miami & Miami Beach, returns in 2025 with its 15th edition running on select dates from Friday, October 3 through Sunday, October 12. There’s no better way to celebrate National Hispanic Heritage Month and the destination’s diversity and history as an LGBTQ paradise.
A Welcoming Wave of Pride
Presented by Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida, Inc., the theme of this year’s Celebrate Orgullo festival is ¡HOLA!. The theme has a double meaning, with “hola” being the Spanish word for hello and “ola” meaning wave. The festival invites you to experience a warm and welcoming “wave” of pride that celebrates what makes us unique while uniting us in a shared spirit of inclusion.
The community can enjoy five dynamic events featuring Hispanic and Indigenous art, music, cabaret theater and exciting outdoor activities, culminating in a fabulous multi-day cruise. All proceeds benefit the MicroGIVING Incubator Fund and year-round programming by Unity Coalition|Coalición Unida, Inc., dedicated to advancing equality and celebrating diversity within the Latinx, Hispanic and Indigenous LGBTQ communities.
Prepare to experience a festival where arts, culture and community come together to break down barriers and uplift voices in a celebration of love, pride and unity. Read on to learn about some standout events on Celebrate Orgullo’s 2025 calendar.
