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

"I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."
Martin Luther King Jr. often spoke about the importance of equality in his speeches and writings. He believed that all individuals should be treated with dignity and respect. He also spoke about the importance of love and understanding in creating a just and fair society.
