Project Pride SRQ presents the Gulfcoast Pride Festival

The Giving Coast

After last year's disappointing cancellation due to Hurricane Milton, organizers at Project Pride SRQ - including new Executive Director Tom Edwards - are thrilled to announce the return of the Gulfcoast Pride Festival (formerly known as Sarasota Pride but rebranded to encompass Manatee Pride as well). This year's event, which takes place on October 25 in the Rosemary District of downtown Sarasota, will feature L.A.-based musician Zee Machine plus other live bands; a street fair featuring over 100 vendors; a kids’ zone with age-appropriate activities; pet zone and pet pageant; an art zone; a drag show headlined by Pork Chop (from “RuPaul’s Drag Race”); and so much more. The event takes place from noon-5 p.m.
