Pride Cape Coral

Pride Cape Coral is the volunteer group behind the city's annual Pride, held every March since 2019. Organisers bill it as the only Pride in Southwest Florida with a parade. The 2026 edition, the eighth, ran on 7 March: the parade stayed free, while the festival moved to a gated, ticketed site at 1417 Lafayette Street in South Cape, which organisers put down to safety concerns and rising costs (WGCU). Crystal Waters headlined. Side events such as a drag brunch bingo and after-parties at Cruiser's Lounge run around the main day. The group also ran a summer party, Pride in Paradise, at the Hideaway Waterfront Resort in August 2026. Its site says Pride Cape Coral returns on 6 March 2027.
