Celebrate Pride Month in St. Pete With These Fun Events!

Happy Pride Month St Pete to all of the LGBTQ+ Community! The largest celebration of the LGBTQ+ community in Florida takes place in the streets of Downtown St. Pete on June 24th, 25th, and 26th.

Watch as over two hundred and fifty thousand people take over the streets of DTSP to celebrate the power and beauty of diversity with over-the-top floats, lavish costumes, incredible live performances, and a firework spectacular along St Pete’s beautiful downtown waterfront. This year’s festival is bigger than ever with all-star headliners on both days. 

If you’re looking for more LGBTQ+ bars and clubs that are celebrating all month long, St. Pete has tons of them. Here’s our list of the hottest LGBTQ+ bars and clubs in DTSP!

The Garage on Central

This low-lit, no-frills gay bar has a festive, dark wood interior, plus beer, cocktails & karaoke for a fun night out during Pride Month. The Garage On Central is a fun and amazing gay bar in St Petersburg where they offer an outstanding choice of domestic and exotic drinks, exciting entertainment, and friendly bartenders. Whether you live in the neighborhood or you are here on vacation, The Garage On Central is the place to be this June!

Lucky Star Lounge

Lucky Star is The best-kept secret in the District! They have great bartenders, cheap drinks with a "punch", a terrific patio, and a welcoming atmosphere. This is the neighborhood bar where everyone knows your name but you will always meet someone new on the patio or by the bar. Stop by any weekend day or night to proudly celebrate St Pete Pride Month!

Gay St.PeteHouse

If you’re coming from out of town to celebrate during the month of June there is nowhere better to stay than the Gay St. Pete House. It’s a six-bedroom B&B with a pool in the backyard, clothing-optional! A large heated pool with salt chlorination keeps your skin, eyes, and hair feeling great year-round. The pool is large enough for several people to relax on floats or swim laps. Breakfast and Happy Hour are served poolside at the bar area, where you can also enjoy tv or movies.

Enigma St. Pete

Enigma is a lively, gay-friendly lounge with several rooms, a cozy dance floor, drag shows & sidewalk tables. When you think of a fabulous night out in DTSP, Enigma should be the first place to come to mind! With special weekly events, there is always something exciting and entertaining going on at Enigma.

Pro Shop Pub

This enduring gay bar serves drinks in simple, down-to-earth, roadside environs with sports on TV in Clearwater. So if you live in Clearwater and don’t want to drive far to celebrate Pride, head to Pro Shop Pub. It’s a more relaxed atmosphere than many of the LGBTQ+ bars and lounges in DTSP, so for a casual celebration, I would head to Clearwater and The Pro Shop Pub.

Quench Lounge

Quench Lounge is a festive and trendy gay nightspot with drag shows, karaoke, DJs, dancing, and daily happy hours. It has a reputation for being the sexiest, “all welcoming” Gay/LGBTQ bar in Pinellas County. Quench specializes in producing parties, special occasions, and fundraising events. They offer a fun, safe, non-smoking (smoking permitted on our covered patio) environment to relax, socialize, and be entertained. Come experience the stylish, upscale décor and ambiance with competitive drink prices served to you by our fun, friendly staff.

And though you can party at these LGBTQ+ Bars and Clubs to celebrate pride month until the end of June, you should check out this list of fun Pride Events in St. Pete as well!
