 GREATER MIAMI AND MIAMI BEACH CELEBRATES PRIDE MONTH

Greater Miami & Miami Beach continues its year-round commitment to LGBTQ inclusion by honoring Pride Month with a vibrant calendar of events and programming this June. Locals and visitors are invited to celebrate the artistry and cultural contributions that have long shaped the destination into one of the most LGBTQ welcoming in the world.

Miami Beach Classical Music Festival's Pride Concert

This year's Pride festivities began with Miami Beach Classical Music Festival's Miami Beach Pride Concert, presented in partnership with the Greater Miami Convention & Visitors Bureau (GMCVB) and Miami Beach Pride. Held on May 31 and June 1, the event featured a talented lineup of performers and transformed the historic façade of the iconic Tides South Beach into a canvas of stunning visual projections. Performances included international DJs and music producers La Trice Perry and Eliad Cohen, setting the tone for cultural programming, entertainment and community pride.

“Pride Month is not only a celebration but a reflection of our community's deep commitment to uplifting and celebrating the LGBTQ community,” said David Whitaker, president and CEO of the GMCVB. “We are proud to create inclusive experiences for residents and visitors alike through signature events like the Miami Beach Pride Concert and the collaborative efforts of our partners.”

Rainbow Spring

From March through June, Greater Miami and Miami Beach presents Rainbow Spring, a season-long celebration of LGBTQ Pride. Now in its third year, the GMCVB-led initiative includes exclusive travel offers, curated experiences and signature events such as the Winter Party Festival, Miami Beach Pride, the OUTshine Film Festival and SweetHeat Miami. With expanded longtime partner Expedia, Rainbow Spring continues to position Greater Miami and Miami Beach as a leading destination for LGBTQ travelers.

Since its debut, which drew more than 135 artists and 50,000 attendees, the multi-day celebration has continued to grow in scope, energy and community impact. This year's event kicked off on June 1 with Solar Flair, a rooftop pool party set above the street art at Arlo Wynwood.
