As we face a global pandemic, we must ensure LGBTQ+ safety
The Board of Directors of Space Coast Pride has made the difficult decision to cancel our 2021 Festival out of caution in keeping the community safe from the ongoing Pandemic.
Your incredible support is what allows us to do the work we do, including youth programs, food drives, annual events and even the support of other community groups.
We are planning to postpone the Rainbow Run 5K. Stay tuned for more information,
If you have any questions or would like to discuss these details please don’t hesitate to contact Justin Cercone, President, at president@spacecoastpride.org.
Once again, thank you for your support! Please be safe and respect and support others as we all continue to face this World Pandemic.
Gratefully,
The Board of Directors, Space Coast Pride

You are all just wonderful for taking the time to share your experiences and give thanks! The hard work, that literally will start again on Monday, is worth every moment to see the community come together and just share love and acceptance.

We will see you next year but don't be strangers, we love seeing you all year round at events! Happy Pride Space Coast! 🏳️🌈
Thank you for the amazing time! Signed, the Gay Dalek
We had a blast! 🌈 💕
Great job to everyone involved. A lot of diversity with respect to each other, and get this, no sexualization of children that I witnessed. I appreciate that NASA and some other vendors were in attendance. Received a lot of items for my classroom/school and got the contact information from NASA I needed to restart field trips post Covid. THANK YOU!!!
After SO MANY days of rain, you ordered beautiful weather for a fabulous day! It’s like God wanted to make sure the day went perfect! ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
I brought 4 teens with me today. ALL of them were anxious and bundle of nerves this am before we got downtown. But within 20 min all of them got their bearings, truly understood they were SAFE thanks to the efforts of so many, and stayed from start to finish today. GREAT JOB ALL!!!
So much fun! 🏳️🌈 I wish downtown was always so accepting, polite, happy and had such a sense of community! TY ♥️
What an AMAZING day of peace and pride! Proud to be Allies 🏳️🌈
We had a fabulous time, thanks SCP for putting on such an amazing event!

What a wonderful day. Thank you to all of the vendors and participants for bringing the love! 🌈💜

Wonderful to hear how successful the event was downtown. It's been wonderful years prior in the EGAD. Thank you Mayor Alfrey for supporting this event in Downtown Melbourne. Here's to many, many more!
So glad that everything went well and that many people were showing support.
It was as great!!!!
It was awesome! Would love to see it take place in March when it isn’t 100 degrees and humid as hell, though. 🥵🥵
