Miami Beach showed its true colors at this year’s Pride Parade on Ocean Drive Sunday.
The event began in 2009 with celebrities such as Mario Lopez, Gloria Estefan and Adam Lambert. This year’s grand marshal and headliner was Billy Porter.
This celebration of arts and culture included a two-day festival and parade, featuring special events, family-friendly community activities and social mixers.
The events started on April 2. Some featured plans were the Miss Miami Beach Pride Pageant, Pride Flag Raising Ceremony, Pride Lights the Night, Social Justice Health and Wellness, and two days of the festival and parade.
These past two weeks represent a lot for the drag community as well.
“I love Miami Pride because we can share with everyone what it means because people think that being gay is a little dark, weird, but you know it’s all just fun,” said Victor Frida, an attendee. “You can come here and have a fun time.”
