St. Pete Pier
600 2nd Ave NE, St. Petersburg, FL 33701St Pete Pride Youth & Family Day 2026 brings the all-ages heart of Florida's largest Pride to the St. Pete Pier on Sunday, June 7, 2026, from 10 AM to 2 PM. Set along the downtown waterfront at 600 2nd Ave NE, this free, family-focused celebration is built for LGBTQ+ families, allies, and kids who want the joy of Pride without the late-night crowds. Expect community organizations handing out resources, hands-on family activities, and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere with the Gulf breeze rolling in off the bay. The highlight is the 2nd Annual Pet Parade, so leash up your pup and dress them in their proudest costume for a stroll that always pulls the biggest crowd of the morning. One real warning from anyone who has done it: the asphalt gets brutally hot by midday, so check the pavement against your own hand before you let paws hit the ground, and keep water handy for your four-legged marcher. Everyone is welcome and admission is free, making this an easy first stop for a full day of Pride. A few local notes. June mornings here climb fast toward 90°F with thick humidity, so getting there early is genuinely cooler and more comfortable. Bring water, sunscreen, and a hat, and know the Pier has shade and air-conditioned spaces nearby when the kids need a break. Skip the parking hassle entirely by riding the free SunRunner BRT and PSTA buses running during Pride weekend, which drop you steps from the waterfront. It is a gentle, genuine kickoff to a weekend the whole city shows up for.
