Check out these events! Updated weekly.
It’s our final Pride To Do List of 2025. We’ll still be proud, but we go back to our regular format next week, as we’ve run through all the South Florida Pride events. Not to worry, we’ve got Independence Day fun right around the corner.

STILL HERE, STILL QUEER
Arts United holds its 3rd Annual Pride and Cultural Arts Exhibition. It will feature poetry and an intimate discussion on the meanings of deep liberation at the intersection of Blackness and LGBTQ, honoring Pride and Juneteenth.
Key West is in the middle of its Pride celebration. Today there are four events: a “Tea On the Sea Sunset Sail,” “A Fabulous Evening with Lillian Baxter,” the Key West Local Bartender Competition, and it all winds up with a sexy queer after hours party at Birdcage Cabaret.

WHAT’S THAT IN THE SKY?
Is it a bird, a plane? No, its “SuperPride” at Eagle with DJ Hukill. Palmyra Lounge hosts a Pride edition of its Lez Open the Mic, with music and poetry. In Key West, the Pride is strong (and wet) with this one, Master Luke, with a “Sausage Fest” pool party at Island House for men (cis or trans), and the all-inclusive “RU Wet?” pool party at Alexander’s Guesthouse, both starting at noon. Then at 6 p.m., there’s the "Love Whoever the F*** You Want" ally party at 22 & Co., followed by another performance of “A Fabulous Evening with Lillian Baxter” at the Key West Armory (tomorrow night as well). “Midnight Mass, a Leather & Gear Fetish Event,” benefitting Gay Key West at Island House, caps off the evening.
