Orlando’s Come Out With Pride Returns for Its 21st Year

Come Out With Pride Orlando, one of the Southeast’s largest and longest-running LGBTQIA+ Pride events, returns for its 21st year, building on last year’s success that drew over 250,000 attendees and generated millions in social and economic impact for Central Florida. The 2025 festival promises another unforgettable day of music, drag, parades, and vibrant community celebration at Lake Eola Park.

Now more than ever, Pride in Orlando stands as a beacon of resilience and unity. While other Pride events across the country face cancellations, Come Out With Pride continues to thrive—driven by local dedication, community commitment, and the unwavering spirit of Orlando’s LGBTQIA+ family. Even with sponsorships low and national challenges mounting, the organization remains steadfast in its mission: to create accepting, inclusive spaces where everyone can celebrate authenticity, visibility, and belonging.

“We will not be erased. Pride in Orlando represents our shared strength, our joy, and our determination to keep moving forward,” said Tatiana Quiroga, Executive Director of Come Out With Pride. “Even in difficult times, we choose to celebrate—because our community deserves to be seen, heard, and valued. We are for the people of Central Florida and beyond, fueling local pride while also welcoming visitors from across the state and country who travel here to celebrate with us.”

For 2025, Come Out With Pride proudly embraces the theme “We The People,” a powerful reminder that our voices, our stories, and our presence are integral to the fabric of this nation. Our Pride, our presence, and our power will not be erased.

In these challenging times, coming together is more important than ever. Come Out With Pride 2025 celebrates resilience, visibility, and unity, honoring the diverse voices and stories that make up Central Florida’s LGBTQIA+ family. Even when other Pride events face uncertainty, Orlando’s Pride continues to rise—driven by community commitment, activism, and the unbreakable spirit of LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies.

“Pride is about more than just celebration—it’s about unity, resilience, and honoring the strength of our community,” said Tatiana Quiroga. “We are proud to present another unforgettable year of entertainment, activism, and visibility that reflects the heart of Orlando’s LGBTQIA+ family. Together, ‘We The People’ stand for love, equality, and belonging—for ourselves, for each other, and for future generations.”
