Pridefest 2026: Bigger, Brighter, Safer, and Front & Center!
This year, Pridefest is moving to the Melbourne Auditorium, giving us massive indoor and outdoor space, multiple zones for vendors, families, performances, and activities, and a fully air-conditioned theatre where guests can enjoy the fiercest entertainment in town while browsing a variety of local vendors indoors and outdoors. The venue is fully accessible, keeping the celebration inclusive, safer, and fun for everyone.
And for the first time ever, our parade will march through the heart of downtown Melbourne, putting Pride on full display for the city to see and cheer. Private shuttles will ensure attendees get from the parade to the festival seamlessly—no one misses a moment of the action!
More space. More visibility. More impact. More Pride. Join us as we make Pridefest 2026 the boldest, most memorable celebration yet!

Fun fact: Did you know Space Coast Pride is predominantly led by queer women?
We celebrate the whole rainbow, every day, but today we're giving a little extra love to the lesbians who lead, love, organize, advocate, and make our community stronger.
To all the incredible lesbians in our community, thank you for showing up, being unapologetically YOU, and helping make Pride what it is.
Happy International Lesbian Day! #InternationalLesbianDay ...

What a sweet Pride Connect last night! It was the perfect way to unwind after PrideFest. We lovingly referred to it as our post-Pridefest support group. And we needed it! It was so wonderful to connect with friends and meet new peeps. Thank you to everyone who brought items for our upcoming clothing swap on 10/11. And a huge thank you to Runway Rooftop for welcoming us and being so kind. Everyone loved the spot and we will definitely be back. Stay tuned for details on next month’s Pride Connect! 🌈💫💕 ...

Thank you to everyone who made PrideFest happen this year. The turnout, the energy, the love in that crowd, it meant everything, and we have so much to celebrate with you.
And to the clowns (crowdfunded organized disruptors) that came to spread hate on our parade, thank you for reminding us that Pride is a protest, and our existence will not be erased. Space Coast Pride is dedicated to serving our community, and those who are threatened by queer joy will only make us stand taller and sing louder.
But before we move on to celebrating everything beautiful about this year’s PrideFest, we need to acknowledge what happened to a member of our community and one of our vendors.
She was targeted during the festival by individuals who came into our space looking to disrupt it, and she was harmed. We stand with her. Completely.
We also have serious concerns about what happened afterward and how the situation was handled with law enforcement. Our community deserves to feel protected when we gather. We deserve to know that when someone comes into our space intending to provoke, intimidate or cause harm, the people targeted will not be the ones left feeling questioned, dismissed or unprotected.
Space Coast Pride is working behind the scenes to pursue answers and accountability. Because this is an active situation, there are details we cannot share right now. What we can say is that we are taking it seriously, we are standing beside our community member, and we are not looking the other way.
Pride has never existed because everyone welcomed us. It exists because generations of LGBTQ+ people refused to disappear when they were told to be quiet.
Neither will we.
We will keep showing up. We will keep protecting one another. We will keep making Pride safer, louder and more joyful.
And to everyone who showed up with love this year: thank you. We see you. We love you. And there is so much about PrideFest 2026 still worth celebrating. ...
