Hello, communicators:

While most brands and organizations celebrate Pride Month in June, the City of Miami Beach has emphasized the importance of celebrating the LGBTQ community all year long by designating September “Miami Beach Pride Month.” The celebrations include several marquee events such as the Queer Art Showcase, Miss Miami Beach Pride Pageant, Legends Ball, the Social Justice Health and Wellness Conference and a dedicated Pride festival, as well as a parade.

“We’re thrilled to officially kick off Miami Beach Pride this year and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with our guests, locals, and tourists from across the U.S.,” Peter Anthonii Carey, director of marketing and PR for Miami Beach Pride said in a press release. “It’s critical that destinations cultivate safe spaces where the LGBTQ+ community can celebrate all year long, and not just in June during Pride Month.”
