About Stonewall Pride Wilton Manors 2026

Stonewall Pride Wilton Manors 2026 is the biggest LGBTQ+ event in the Fort Lauderdale metro — a street festival and parade that shuts down six blocks of Wilton Drive on Saturday, June 20, from 3 to 11 p.m. and draws 50,000 people to the heart of America's gayborhood by the sea. Named for the 1969 Stonewall Riots, it has grown from a small neighborhood parade into an internationally known Pride with eight-plus stages, 100-plus vendors, and 15 bars operating inside the festival footprint. What sets it apart is the setting. Most Prides happen next to the nightlife. This one happens inside it — Wilton Drive shuts entirely, the stages sit between the bars, and your wristband gets you in and out of the clubs all day. The crowd is densest in the center section, the main stage anchors the south end near NE 6th Avenue, and the day climbs toward the signature Glow Night Parade at 8 p.m. When the festival ends at 11, the party simply moves indoors and runs till close. General admission runs about $10 in advance and $13 at the gate, and the festival is cashless, so bring a card. Heads up: there is a strict no-bags policy with walk-through metal detectors at all three entrances, so carry only your phone, card, and sunscreen. Rideshare in — Wilton Drive is closed to traffic and parking is $10 to $30. Dress light, hydrate, and bring a backup shirt, because June in South Florida is hot and humid. This is the centerpiece of Fort Lauderdale Pride 2026.
