When is Key West Pride?
Key West Pride is a week-long celebration held each June, organized by the Key West Business Guild — the exact week shifts year to year, so confirm the current dates on the official site.
The Parade & Tea Dance
The main Pride parade caps the week on the closing Sunday, stepping off around 7 PM from Truman Waterfront Park and winding up Duval Street, spilling into the legendary Tea Dance at La Te Da — a Key West Sunday tradition since 1974.
Week-Long Events
Across the week, expect pool parties, drag shows, a street fair, sunset sails, and the island's Guinness-record rainbow flag heritage. It's a compact, walkable Pride where all of Old Town gets involved.
