ST. PETERSBURG | St Pete Pride welcomed hundreds of thousands to Downtown St. Petersburg June 28 from 2-10 p.m. for its Parade Day Festival, a full day of activities and entertainment.

Supporters filled North and South Straub Parks before and after this year’s parade, which followed this year’s Trans March. Crowds enjoyed local vendors and performances from fan favorite musicians, drag performers and more.

The day came to close after St Pete Pride’s 2025 headliners took the stage. “American Song Contest” alum Grant Knoche was up first, followed by TikTok sensation Chrissy Chlapecka.

“Drag Race” royalty closed the evening, starting with “Canada’s Drag Race” winner and “We’re Here” star Priyanka. “RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars” season 10 contestant Denali brought the celebration to a close.
