Glow Night Parade 2026

About Glow Night Parade 2026

The Glow Night Parade is the signature moment of Stonewall Pride Wilton Manors and one of the only nighttime Pride parades in the country, stepping off Saturday, June 20, 2026, at 8 p.m. on Wilton Drive. As the South Florida sun sets, illuminated floats, glowing vehicles, and light-covered walking groups roll down The Drive through the middle of the street festival in a spectacle of color you watch from just feet away. This is the heart of what makes Stonewall Pride different. There are no barricades holding the crowd a block deep — the parade flows through the festival itself, with spectators lining both sides of Wilton Drive almost close enough to touch the floats. It is smaller and far more intimate than a mega-city daytime march, and the after-dark format gives it a glow-stick, neon, last-night-of-summer-camp energy that the big midday parades simply cannot match. The parade starts at 8 p.m. sharp and participants must be lined up by 7:30, so stake out your viewing spot by 7:30 as well — anywhere along Wilton Drive between the north and south festival sections works, though the main-stage area near NE 6th Avenue gives you parade and stage entertainment in one. You will need a Stonewall Pride festival wristband to be inside the footprint (about $10 advance, $13 gate, cashless). Rideshare in, since Wilton Drive is closed to traffic, and remember the strict no-bags policy. When the parade ends, the festival runs till 11 p.m. and the bars of The Drive carry the night well past that.
