Palm Beach Pride & Parade returns March 28-29, bringing a weekend of celebration, visibility and community to Lake Worth Beach.

Produced by Compass Community Center, the two-day festival will take place at Bryant Park in downtown Lake Worth, from noon to 6 p.m. each day. The annual event is the largest LGBTQ gathering in Palm Beach County with, according to some estimates, more than 30,000 people attending  

“I’ll be celebrating Pride this weekend. It’s always a party, but this year, showing up feels more important than ever,” said Barry Lowenthal, a board member of Compass. “Looking forward to seeing everyone in Lake Worth!” 

This year’s theme, “Act Out Loud,” draws inspiration from theater and the performing arts, highlighting the role of creativity, performance and self-expression in queer culture. Organizers are encouraging attendees to embrace bold costumes and high-energy participation throughout the weekend. 

The festival will feature live entertainment, food trucks, a Youth Village and more than 140 vendor booths. The event is designed to offer something for all ages, with free admission for guests 18 and younger. 

The Pride parade will step off Sunday at 11 a.m., bringing floats, performers and community groups through the streets of downtown Lake Worth Beach. 

Tickets are $15 in advance and $20 at the gate. For more information, visit CompassLGBTQ.com. Buy pre-sale tickets here.
