See How Miami Beach Celebrates Pride!
Starting in 2009, Miami's LGBTQ community has celebrated Pride during early April in Miami Beach. What started off as a relatively modest crowd of 15,000 people at the first event, has ballooned into one of the most popular parties along Ocean Drive, drawing over 140,000 people in 2019. Historically, the festivities have taken place the first week in April, but after a 2020 cancelation, Miami Beach Pride returns September 10-19, 2021. The legendary festival and parade weekend will take place September 18-19 along the along the sands of Lummus Park in South Beach, as well as a parade along Ocean Drive in the city's Art Deco neighborhood on Sunday morning.
A safe and COVID compliant festival is the top priority for Miami Beach Pride. Organizers will implement a full-scale COVID-19 Safety Plan which will include mandatory masks, temperature checks, touchless transactions, sanitizing stations, larger tent sizes and open spaces.
"After such a challenging year for so many, we are eager to celebrate again as responsibly as possible and are hard at work on a stellar slate of performances, and programming that represents the beautiful diversity of the LGBTQ+ community," stated Executive Director Rich Walczak.
