Join PRIDE Cape Coral for the Annual Pride Festival from noon to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 7, at 1417 Lafayette St., Cape Coral. This energetic event brings people from all walks of life together to enjoy live entertainment, local vendors, food, art, and engaging experiences in a lively, celebratory atmosphere.
As usual, the Pride Parade is free and open to the public, but it will be in a new location this year — along Lafayette Street, between Vincennes and Cape Coral streets. Organizers say the new route allows for more parade participants, better viewing areas for spectators as well as a safer, more spacious experience for everyone.
“This updated location gives the parade room to grow, and grow it will,” organizers stated on the Pride website.
The application to participate in the parade can be accessed HERE. It’s also free to participate in the parade which starts at 4 p.m.
The Pride Festival features an exciting entertainment lineup headlined by legendary dance music icon Crystal Waters, along with performances by Axle Andrews, Alyssa Lemay, Danielle Hunter, Daye Nada, Chloe Bone Cicconi, and Keke Monroe. Together, these artists will bring high-energy performances, bold expression, and unforgettable moments to the stage throughout the day.
Tickets for admission to the festival grounds only costs $10 before the event and $15 at the gate. A VIP and Meet & Greet Experience is available for $125. Your VIP ticket includes complimentary food, featuring a VIP-exclusive menu available throughout the event, paired with a full open bar served in exclusive PRIDE VIP souvenir cups. Skip the crowds with secure VIP-only entry, and enjoy the convenience of air-conditioned restrooms for a comfortable festival experience from start to finish. VIP guests also receive prime stage access and an exclusive meet and greet with the entertainers, offering a truly up-close and personal PRIDE experience.
Tickets are available via Eventbrite as well as in person at Cruisers and Nice Guys Pizza.
