gay pride paradeWith more and more of our human rights being usurped by far-right politicians, it’s more important than ever that we stand together and celebrate our diversity.

Key West’s “One Human Family” ethos is more than just a slogan. It’s a philoso-phy that we locals (gay, trans, straight, binary, or whatever) proudly live by daily.

Renowned as one of the most harmonious and welcoming communities in America, our little piece of paradise is not only a top vacation destination that draws visitors from around the world, it’s also a famous “Come As You Are” mecca that attracts thousands of LGBTQ+ visitors to our shores. Especially in the summer, when three major events keep the tiny two-mile by four-mile island hopping.

In addition to the lively bar scene, there are lots of other events going on, including a PrideFest Street Fair, pool and beach parties, water activities, the notorious Pride Follies, plus a whole lot more.

The action continues when Tropical Heat, Key West’s hottest event for men, cranks up the temperature on Wednesday, August 9 – Sunday, August 13. With all-male theme activities, pool parties, and adult-oriented entertainment, it’s a steamy four days — rain or shine.

Just as the last rays of summer start to fade, Key West explodes with WomenFest which runs from Wednesday, September 7 – Sunday, September 11. One of the largest gatherings of lesbians and friends in North America, this four days of revelry includes pool parties, water excursions, late-night parties, and more. And here’s the best part: you don’t have to be gay to go!gay pride parade
