Key West Pride 2026

Every June, Key West Pride turns the island into a vibrant, inclusive festival full of color, community, and celebration. This weeklong event welcomes LGBTQ+ visitors, allies, and locals alike, offering a packed schedule of pool parties, drag shows, comedy nights, street fairs, and sunset sail cruises—along with educational programs and cultural tributes that honor the history and resilience of the LGBTQ+ movement. The festival culminates in the spectacular Pride Parade, where revelers dance along Duval Street carrying a 100-foot segment of Key West’s signature Sea-to-Sea flag in a dazzling display of unity and pride.

Organized by the Key West Business Guild and Gay Key West, this year’s theme, “Still Rising,” reflects a spirit of perseverance and joy throughout the LGBTQ+ community. Anchored in Key West’s longstanding motto of “One Human Family,” Pride seamlessly blends festive energy with meaningful moments—like the “Generations of Strength” Street Fair, trolley tours honoring queer history, and a floating Tea Dance at sunset. With its tropical setting, eclectic events, and inclusive vibe, Key West Pride stands out as one of the most beloved and dynamic celebrations of identity and belonging in the Florida Keys.
