Plan Miami Beach Pride around Sunday, April 11, 2027: stake out Ocean Drive before the noon parade, then walk straight into the free festival at Lummus Park, and leave the car in a garage or skip it.
Miami Beach Pride's two-day festival fills Lummus Park on Saturday and Sunday, April 10 and 11, 2027, from noon to 11 pm both days, and it is free for everyone.
The parade runs along Ocean Drive right beside the park, from 5th to 14th Street, on Sunday from noon to 2 pm, so the parade and the festival sit side by side.

What 2026 looked like
Miami Beach Pride started in 2009 as a small parade. In 2026, its 18th year, the theme was Pride Is Infinite. Princess Nokia and Eliad Cohen headlined Saturday, David Archuleta and Dan Slater headlined Sunday, and Dr Elijah Nicholas and Latrice Royale were grand marshals. The organizer's 2026 release cited more than 170,000 attendees; its own boilerplate says 185,000 or more, so take the exact count loosely.
The festival is set up for access: the main stage has ASL interpreters, paths are laid with ADA-compliant matting, and there is a sensory-friendly space.
