This year’s festival felt more representative of the rest of the LGBTQ+ community than past Miami Beach Pride events. I was impressed by the diversity of Pride attendees.
This year’s list included popular British, EDM-pop musician RAYE, whose performance lit up Lummus Park with celebratory dance pop.
The celebration lasts ten days - this year from April 1-10 - with the final day signaling the grandiose parade followed by an all-day festival with celebrity headliners. For the past two years this was not the case due to COVID-19, with last year’s Pride occurring in September and the pandemic stomping in the way of any 2020 events. At the beginning of April annually, Ocean Drive gets gayer in anticipation of the city’s largest Pride event of the calendar year.
