Orlando Pride

You won't want to miss the thrill of the Orlando Pride celebrations, whether you reside in Florida, another southern state, or anyplace else in the nation. Because the city's soccer team goes by the same name, it might be challenging to find information on this event. However, once you discover about all the fun you can have at Orlando Pride, you'll want to mark the day on your calendar. One of the oldest pride celebrations in the south, this is the premier LGBTQ festival in Florida.

A pride event in Orlando was necessary, according to the Metropolitan Business Association (MBA). Come Out With Pride, Inc. was established by executives working for that organization, which is made up of LGBTQ corporate executives. As a nonprofit organization, COWP would provide chances for local lesbians and homosexual people. The Orlando Pride Parade and all the other entertaining activities that take place in the first few days of October were later established by COWP. Because it was soon to National Coming Out Day and would entice recent comers to the community to come out and have fun, the organization decided on the first weekend in October.

Even though the festival only lasts for one weekend, there are plenty of activities to keep you busy during the week. Previous occasions featured drag races that raised money for charity and screenings of LGBTQ films. Come Out With Pride hosts a parade that runs around Lake Eola and along the promenade. There is also a late-afternoon recovery party, which is the ideal location to unwind and recoup before returning home. If you you go to one pride festival in Florida, you should make it the one in Orlando.
