Welcome to Pridefest 2023!

We’re planning our 2nd 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 15,000 attendees in 2022.

Pridefest 2023 will feature two main events, starting with the Saturday, June 17th, Rainbow Run 5k, and concluding with the main event, the Pridefest and Parade on Saturday, September 23rd. You don't want to miss any of either of these events.
