Key West Pride 2027

Key West Pride happens every June. Yes, it's hot and humid then, but the island's gay community has deep roots here and they stick to the traditional timing.

The whole thing centers on the Duval Street parade. About 20,000 people show up for it, either marching or watching from the sidelines as it moves through the main entertainment strip.

Beyond the parade, there are street festivals, beach parties, and bar nights. They even hold a human rights forum.

Key West already has a strong gay scene — places like the Duval Street bars, Island House, and La Te Da, Aqua. Add Pride week's special energy to that, and you get a party that pulls in visitors from all over the southeastern U.S. and beyond.

Planning to go? Book your accommodation three to four months ahead. The island packs out completely.
