June is filled every year with appointments and celebrations that are dedicated to "Pride Month." During this time, the LGBTI* community celebrates with colorful parades, lively parties, and exclusive events.

The aim of the actions and activities is to draw attention to the still prevalent lack of equality and acceptance. There are, of course, corresponding events in the USA, and especially in Florida, it will be colorful when the annual Key West Pride celebration begins again on June 5, 2024. For over 40 years, this event has celebrated diversity and inclusion. At 5 PM, the parade will kick off under the theme "Celebrating the 70's Disco Era," and hundreds of participants will stretch an impressive two-kilometer-long rainbow flag over the famous Duval Street from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean. This will be the longest rainbow flag in the world, with its sections also being used in other Pride parades around the globe.

The kickoff for Key West Pride 2024 will take place on Monday, June 3, 2024, with a charity event called "Real Men Do Drag" at AquaPlex Key West. In the following days, one highlight follows another, and the events are as colorful as the guests and ideas: there are theater performances and film screenings, wine tastings, sunset sailing excursions, and enticing food tours under the motto "Taste the Rainbow Tour." Party enthusiasts have the hard choice between various street festivals and club events featuring local DJs or lively pool parties. Countless restaurants, bars, and distilleries also offer colorful specials during Key West Pride. The grand finale will be the big Key West Pride Parade on Sunday, June 9, 2024.
