Join us on Sunday, July 28th at 8pm at our family-friendly, peaceful gathering as we light up the John Ringling Causeway with Pride!
Since Governor DeSantis declared this summer to be “Freedom Summer,” we’re springing into action to declare to him that Pride is resistance, Pride is survival, and we won’t be going anywhere. Florida cannot dim our shine!
Pride isn’t only celebrated in June. Pride is 365!
