ST. PETERSBURG | St Pete Pride welcomed hundreds of thousands to Downtown St. Petersburg June 27 from 2-9 p.m., a full day of LGBTQ+ activities and entertainment.
Supporters filled North and South Straub Parks before and after this year’s parade, which followed Slay the Bay and the 2026 Trans March. In a first, South Straub was 21+ and VIP.
Crowds enjoyed local vendors and performances from fan favorite musicians, drag performers and more. VIP headliners included “RuPaul’s Drag Race” alum Sam Star and Discord Addams, also a 2026 grand marshal.
