ST. PETERSBURG | St Pete Pride welcomed thousands to the Grand Central District June 28 for its annual Street Fair, closing out their 24th annual celebration in the nonprofit’s birthplace.
The signature event followed the weekend’s Slay the Bay concert, downtown festival, Trans March and parade, which drew hundreds of thousands to Downtown St. Petersburg. The street fair featured vendors along 10 blocks of Central Ave. and attendees enjoyed main stage entertainment provided by Cocktail and more.
This year the venue welcomed headliners like Pepper MaShay and Discord Addams, hometown “RuPaul’s Drag Race” favorite and 2026 grand marshal. Local LGBTQ+ advocates also held their annual unfurling of a 375-foot Pride flag, which supporters escorted through the streets.
