St. Pete is particularly known for its St Pete Pride Festival, the largest pride event in the Southeast United States, with many events held in the month of June.

Be sure to check out Dunedin Pride and Gulfport Pride, both in June. These small communities are super LGBTQ+ friendly every day of the year.
An important note about getting around during St Pete Pride and other Pride events: When possible, it's an excellent choice (and a safe one if you plan to have a drink or two) to choose rideshares such as Uber and Lyft, or to ride convenient public transportation. PSTA will run on its regular schedules in June, see PSTA schedules and maps. If you decide to drive, plan ahead for parking in St. Pete.
On the day of the St Pete Pride Parade, several PSTA options are typically free, including the SunRunner, the Central Avenue Trolley, and PSTA Route 9 (this route serves St. Pete High where free shuttles will be available (see below).
In 2024, parade goers were able to park and ride for free from St. Petersburg High School at 2501 5th Ave North (buses ran from 11 a.m. - 11 p.m.). In addition,the Tampa Bay Rays offered free parking in lots 5, 6 and 7 at Tropicana Field from 6 a.m. until midnight on parade day.
