The Palm Beach Pride Pageant recently took place at The Lake Worth Playhouse in Lake Worth Beach.
Compass Community Center was the host of the event, as they've done for many years in the past. This year was also a tribute to the current queen Lady Marissa and Ground Zero, who were both crowned in 2024. Beloved Palm Beach queens, Velvet Lenore and Melissa St. John, served as MCs in the joyous occasion.
After all the glitter was thrown and the hair spray settled in, J Wolf Lenore and Sa’Mari Black Starr were crowned Mr. and Miss Palm Beach Pride 2025. This highly competitive pageant brought loads of charisma and dedication from the other contestants. Each contestant wowed the crowd and judges with their standout performances.
The judges that made the hard decisions were Nicole T Phillips, LA the King, Al Ferguson, Scott Holland, and Jennifer Herrington.
Mark your calendars for March 29-30 and join Compass Community Center at Bryant Park in Lake Worth Beach for 2025’s version of Palm Beach Pride. The festival will run from 12-6 p.m. each day, featuring live performances, family-friendly activities, and the much-talked about Pride Parade.
Tickets are $10 in advance or $12 at the gate, and youth 18 and under get in free. For a special offer, grab the Pride Pass for $30 (presale only), which includes two tickets and a limited-edition PB Pride cross-body bag.

During these tough times with the new government, it's important for people to “show up and show out.” Don’t wait to be celebrated by the government.
