2026 Festival + Parade

We’re planning our 5th year in Historic Downtown Melbourne! The parade will kick off the day, crossing Strawbridge Ave and heading East on East New Haven Ave.

We will be seen by many! The festival will immediately follow. The Board of Space Coast Pride will always keep the health and safety of our community as a priority at our events. We put on many events throughout the year, ranging in attendance from small gatherings all the way up to our yearly festival, which brought in over 20,000 attendees in 2025.
