PRIDE in The Palm Beaches

Genuine hospitality is a way of life in The Palm Beaches, with a vibrant blend of people, cultures, and coastal towns welcome to everyone. Don’t miss these events, bars, and restaurants at the heart of our LGBTQ+ community.

There are parties, and then there’s Palm Beach Pride, presented by Compass LGBTQ+ Community Center. Every March at Bryant Park in downtown Lake Worth Beach, everyone is welcome to enjoy a weekend of delicious local food, refreshing beverages, and fabulous entertainment, including the Pride Parade. And to celebrate Pride Month in June, come see the Pride Lights in Nancy M. Graham Centennial Park in downtown West Palm Beach as the Centennial Fountain is illuminated with the colors of the rainbow.

Every spring, the International Gay Polo League Tournament pits the best players in the GPL against each other at the National Polo Center in Wellington. And while the action on horseback is thrilling, it’s the several days of tailgating leading up to the tournament where the real excitement happens. There’s music, food, themed parties, and even competitions for best cocktail, best cuisine, best tailgate, and more.
