Miami celebrates Pride twice a year, which is kind of incredible if you ask us!
Pride in Miami is observed in April, during Miami Beach Pride, and in Pride month, which lasts from June 1st till June 30th each year. It’s a great opportunity for people to come out and express who they are while also building a community and coming together in the best way.
If you’re in town or live in Miami, some of the best pride events and happenings from around town include the following:
Attend drag brunches in Miami
Miami is known for its weekly drag brunches, and there are several happening all throughout June. Each weekend you’ll find multiple restaurants hosting brunches with some of the most famous drag queens as hosts and guests and performers. You can check out some popular ones such as Palace Bar & Restaurant, R Wynwood, and more that have events lined up.
When it comes to hosting a successful event, entertainment is key. Our topless waitresses bring a unique blend of beauty, charm, and engaging personalities that will captivate your guests from the moment they arrive. They are experts at creating a lively and vibrant atmosphere, ensuring that everyone has a fantastic time.
These lunches are amazing opportunities to hang out with friends, enjoy the company and talent of some of Miami’s best drag performances, and celebrate Pride in full swing.
Enjoy themed cocktails around town
Another popular attraction that most businesses offer during Pride each year is themed cocktails. It may not seem like something special to many people, but for those of us who love a fresh and delicious drink, nothing beats Miami’s Pride-themed cocktails. From the craziest flavors to the whackiest stunts and accessories, you’ll have the most amazing drinks of your life during this time of year. Treat yourself to cocktails such as passionfruit sangrias, pear-flavored drinks, and more varieties, which are often associated with special causes.
What’s better than enjoying some delicious drinks while also supporting causes that matter to you?

Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival
In honor of the iconic moment in history, the Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival happens each year during pride month, when people come together to march, demonstrate, and celebrate. It’s the perfect opportunity to come out and take the streets for causes that matter, including this year’s issue with the festival itself, which sparked controversy among organizers and attendees. Skyrocketing police costs have made the festival increasingly inaccessible and way more expensive than intended, shocking organizers who are struggling to cope with these expenses that are necessary for the safety and protection of participants.
Brickell City Centre’s month-long events
Brickell City Center will be hosting events all throughout Pride Month, which means you can check out some amazing local events happening there, including different classes, and lessons, including a cocktail-making session with Ginger Minj from RuPaul’s Drag Race, which is a headlining event.
They have other entertainment and educational activities and events, too, including cake and cocktail making, physical wellness sessions for yoga and HIIT, including kids classes, and more, to welcome allies and members of the LGBTQ+ community.
