ST PETE PRIDE 2026

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR'S LETTER To Everyone Who Has Been Part of This Journey,

As I wrap up my first year with St Pete Pride, I keep coming back to one feeling more than anything else: gratitude.

This year has been one of the most meaningful experiences of my life, and it has truly been an honor to serve in this role.

From small local events and late-night planning meetings, to Pride Connect gatherings and the relationships we’ve built with so many incredible partners, I’ve had the chance to meet people who care deeply about showing up for others and making sure Pride continues to grow in ways that matter.

And we will never stop being visible.

Pride has always meant more than a festival or a parade. It’s about creating spaces where people feel safe being themselves.

It’s about connection, visibility, celebration and sometimes simply reminding people that they are not alone.

This year’s theme, “Here Comes the Sun,” feels very fitting to me. Even through difficult moments, people continue finding ways to bring light into the lives of others. I’ve seen it all year long.

And while I’m incredibly excited for this year’s Pride season, I’m also looking ahead to what comes next. In 2027, St Pete Pride will celebrate 25 years of Pride. Twenty-five years of visibility, advocacy, celebration and showing up for one another.

That milestone belongs to every person who helped build this organization over the years, and I can already tell you, we are going to make it the best birthday yet.

Thank you for trusting me through my first year. Thank you for your patience, your support, your ideas, your encouragement and your belief in what Pride can continue to be. I’m proud of what we’ve accomplished together, and even more excited for where we’re headed next.

I truly cannot wait to celebrate with all of you this Pride season.

We will not be pushed aside.

We will not disappear. And we will never stop being visible.

I’ve learned very quickly that Pride is not built by one person.

It is built by volunteers who stay late to help clean up, local businesses that step up to support, artists and performers who bring life to our events, organizations willing to collaborate, and people who continue to show up year after year because they believe this matters. I’m incredibly thankful to have had a seat at the table alongside all of you.

This year’s Pride season feels especially important. There are a lot of voices right now trying to make LGBTQ+ people feel smaller, quieter or easier to ignore.

But if this past year has shown me anything, it’s that we are resilient. We continue to show up. We continue to support one another, and we continue to take up space with joy, authenticity and pride.

We will not be pushed aside.

We will not disappear.

ST PETE PRIDE 2026

PRESIDENT'S LETTER There is a reason we reach for the sun.

Even in the darkest seasons — and make no mistake, we have lived through some of the darkest — there is something in us that turns toward light. Not because the darkness isn't real.

Not because the struggle is over. We are a people who have always known that joy is not a reward for surviving. Joy is the resistance itself.

This past year has been among the most challenging of my life. Our organization navigated arduous financial headwinds, leadership transitions, a shifting philanthropic landscape and a political environment that has made the simple act of showing up as ourselves feel like an act of courage. We lost support from funders who went quiet when the noise got loud. We weathered storms — literal and otherwise. And still, we are here. Still

Executive Director, Bior Guigni, who has been an absolute rock star — steady, visionary and deeply committed to this work. Our Board of Directors has shown up with creativity, courage and a determination to build spaces that more fully reflect the beauty of our entire community. I am honored to serve alongside them.

I am also deeply proud to welcome Sapphic St. Pete under our umbrella — an initiative going into its second year. Sapphic St. Pete will be hosted in late October and early November, dedicated to creating affirming, joyful and inclusive spaces for all women in our community.

This is what it looks like when we grow — intentionally, expansively and with love.

None of this — not a single step of it — would have been possible without the people who held me up when this work was hard. My husband, Elliott Calisch, and my kid, River: you are my foundation. You are my sun on the cloudiest days. I love you beyond what these words can carry.

And to this community — the marchers and the mourners, the organizers and the dreamers, the ones who have shown up year after year no matter what Florida has thrown at us — thank you. Thank you for not letting them dim our joy, our shine — who we are. Thank you for choosing, again and again, to come back into the light.

Here comes the sun. And we are ready.

In solidarity and joy,

We will not be pushed aside.

We will not disappear. And we will never stop being visible. rooted. Still rising.

As the first Black board president of St Pete Pride — the largest Pride organization in the state of Florida — I do not take lightly what it means to hold this role in a moment like this. I carry with me the names of those who came before us, who threw bricks and threw parties, who buried their beloved and danced the night anyway. I carry the weight of our trans siblings — especially our Black and Brown trans siblings — who continue to face relentless assault on their dignity, their safety and their very existence. To them, I say what I will always say: we see you.

We need you. You will never stand alone.

And yet — here comes the sun.

This year's theme is not naive. It is not a turn away from struggle. It is a declaration that even after the longest night, the sun does in fact still rise. The sun does not ask for permission to shine. Neither do we.

I am so proud of what this community has built and what we continue to build together. I am grateful beyond words for our

Here Comes the Sun

St Pete Pride shines brighter than ever for 24th year Ryan Williams-Jent

S

t Pete Pride celebrated its roots with over 400,000 people in 2025, securing its status as Florida’s largest LGBTQ+ celebration. They’re following those festivities with “Here Comes the Sun,” shining brighter than ever for their 24th year.

Organizers announced their 2026 theme in January, highlighting this year’s signature events and more.

They’re detailed on p. 34.

“Rooted in St. Petersburg’s identity as the Sunshine City, this theme celebrates renewal, visibility and the strength found in the community,” Executive Director Bior Guigni shared. “After a challenging year for many, ‘Here Comes the Sun’ reflects a shared moment of emergence — where LGBTQIA+ people, allies and partners come together to illuminate Pride in every color.

“The sun symbolizes hope, warmth and the power of being seen,” she continued. “Just as a rainbow cannot exist without light, Pride is made possible through collective support, advocacy and allyship.”

Planning was well underway by then, efforts supported by St Pete Pride’s all-volunteer board. Its officers are Dr. Byron Green-Calisch, board president; Trent Brock, vice president; Alex Green, treasurer and Darius Lightsey, secretary, local LGBTQ+ advocates who are joined by nine other changemakers.

The governing body includes board members Travis Geerdes, Susan DiDino, Molly Robison, De’Mario Jives, Chris Trevena, Anthony Arevalo, Stephanie Foglia, Stacy Sciarra and Diana Rierson. Each plays a significant part in keeping St. Petersburg’s LGBTQ+ community connected before, during and after June.

St Pete Pride launched Pride Connect in late 2025, a new networking opportunity with the Tampa Bay LGBT Chamber.

The series has brought LGBTQ+ professionals, allies and supporters together monthly ever since.

“This initiative is about building bridges, connecting businesses, leaders and community members who believe in the power of inclusion,” Guigni shared last year.

“St Pete Pride has always been more than a celebration; it’s a movement rooted in visibility, empowerment

and unity. Pride Connect is a new way to strengthen those values year-round, while showcasing the resilience and brilliance of our LGBTQ+ community.”

Other gatherings have also made waves. St Pete Pride held a Fire Island Classic Tea Dance fundraiser in January, celebrating Tampa Bay’s LGBTQ+ community and the popular destination’s legacy.

“Fire Island has long been a refuge for the LGBTQ+ community, a place defined by freedom, expression and inclusion,” St Pete Pride advised.

“The tea dance tradition originated in the Fire Island Pines in 1966 and has since been adopted by queer communities and gay resorts around the world.”

It was presented in partnership with Bobby Bonanno, a founding board member of the Fire Island Pines Historical Society. Brock shared that CONTINUED ON PG.19 | uu|

while “tea dances aren’t necessarily new to the | uu | Continued From Tampa Bay area,” the PG.15 collaboration brought “an unparalleled level of authenticity and historical significance to the event.”

St Pete Pride also announced a significant expansion in March, welcoming Sapphic St Pete to its year-round programming. It will host the week-long celebration later this year.

The gathering launched in 2025 to center Tampa Bay’s lesbian, queer women and sapphic communities. The inaugural outing was powered by LuvHer Events, a part of OutCoast LLC led by Chief Creative Officer Rachel Covello, with additional organizers like Tampa Bay Black Lesbians President Tamara Leigh and Rainbow Recreation CEO Mia Duval.

“This exciting expansion underscores St Pete Pride’s year-round commitment to uplifting queer voices, creating safe and celebratory spaces and amplifying underrepresented identities within our vibrant LGBTQ+ community,” St Pete Pride shared in March.

They noted that Sapphic St Pete “sought to fill a longstanding need for an event that speaks directly to the experiences and histories of lesbian, bisexual, pansexual, trans, nonbinary and queer women, offering both vibrant social spaces and meaningful opportunities for connection and celebration.” The inaugural outing featured art exhibits, comedy shows, pool parties and more.

“I am absolutely ecstatic that Sapphic St Pete is joining the St Pete Pride family,” Guigni said. “Creating intentional space for our lesbian and sapphic community

matters deeply, and I am so proud that we are expanding our legacy to ensure every identity feels seen, celebrated and centered.”

Green-Calisch added that St Pete Pride intends to honor and build upon Sapphic St Pete’s original direction. He noted that “expanding intentional queer spaces, especially those centered on sapphic voices and experiences, is deeply aligned with our mission to foster visibility, inclusion and belonging for all.”

Further supporting that mission is St Pete Pride’s Royal Court. The organization held its 2026 Mx St Pete Pride pageant in May, crowning Mr. St Pete Pride Ashton Opulence, Miss St Pete Pride Imani L. Valentino and Mx St Pete Pride Kenzi D. Lavish. Learn more about them on p. 29.

“We were so pleased with the creativity and pageantry displayed at this year’s Mx St Pete Pride pageant,” says Lightsey. “We’re very proud of our new court and excited for them to have the opportunity to shine on a larger platform.”

They’re already doing that. St Pete Pride 2026 is here and continues through June 28. So get ready, St. Pete: Here Comes the Sun!

Welcome to Pride in St. Pete!

Pride has always been a celebration of courage, authenticity, and community. What began as a call for visibility and dignity continues to remind us that every person deserves the freedom to live openly and fully as themselves.

The LGBTQ+ community helps shape the creativity, resilience, and spirit of our city every day. From advocates and artists to families, faith leaders, business owners, and young people finding their voice, this community continues to make our city stronger and more connected.

This year, Pride also arrives during a difficult moment for many LGBTQ+ people, especially transgender individuals, youth, and their families. In times like these, community matters deeply.

Pride reminds us that visibility matters. Compassion matters. And that even during challenging times, there is power in showing up for one another with hope, kindness, and love.

It is a privilege to work alongside this community and witness the courage and care that continue to define it.

Thank you for being part of this celebration and for helping create spaces where people feel seen, supported, and connected.

Whether this is your first Pride or your fiftieth, I hope this celebration leaves you feeling joyful, empowered, and proud of the community we continue to build together.

Happy Pride.

With gratitude, Nathan Bruemmer LGBTQ+ Liaison City of St. Petersburg

ST PETE PRIDE 2026

What do you love about St. Petersburg's LGBTQ+ community?

What I love most is how it balances visibility, authenticity and real community care. It’s not just a scene, it’s a home for a lot of people and there’s a certain fearlessness here. People show up as themselves bold, expressive and unapologetic whether it’s on Central Avenue, at a pageant, a drag show or just walking down the street. That kind of everyday visibility creates space for others to feel safe doing the same. I love how the community here blends fun with purpose. You’ll have a night full of celebration, but also real conversations about advocacy, health and progress. It’s joy with intention.

What does St Pete Pride mean to you?

It feels like a reunion of chosen family… It’s that feeling of looking around and realizing you’re not alone — and never were. There’s a deep sense of honor and history tied to it, too. Pride isn’t just about the now, it’s about those who fought, sacrificed and paved the way for the freedoms we experience today.

Every parade, performance and crown carries that legacy forward — and it’s also about joy and liberation. It’s one of the few times where people feel completely free to express themselves loudly, beautifully and without apology.

How did it feel to win your title?

Honestly, it still feels surreal and affirming all at once. After putting in the work, time, energy and knowing it was my first try, that moment becomes bigger than just a crown. It’s validation, growth and perseverance paying off.

What else do you want people to know about you?

Whether it’s through pageantry, mentorship or creative expression, my goal is always to uplift, inspire and create space for others to feel seen and valued.

I believe in building legacy, not just moments. Creativity is a huge part of who I am... and at the core of it all, I’m mother of the House of Valentino. That’s something I cherish the most in the world.

It’s a celebration of the LGBTQ+ community. A celebration of life, love, joy, happiness, equality and inclusivity.

How did you prepare for the pageant?

It was a lot of hard work and dedication preparing for this pageant, trust me. It was my third time competing for St Pete Pride and I went around doing benefit shows just to raise money to complete my package. I couldn’t have done it without my friends and family who have been so supportive and believed in me.

What do you want to share about St Pete Pride 2026?

St Pete Pride’s main celebration happens every year around June and it’s the largest LGBTQ+ Pride celebration in Florida with a parade, street festivals and a lot of community events. I’m so looking forward to see what we’ll have in store this year.

Here Comes the Sound St Pete Pride 2026 Entertainment Ryan Williams-Jent

S

t Pete Pride offers something for everyone when it comes to entertainment, which will feature fan favorite locals and more at events throughout June.

Organizers are also ready to Slay the Bay like never before in 2026.

This year’s signature entertainment experience — set for June 26 at Al Lang Stadium, detailed on p. 34 — promises to be “the ultimate Pride party under the lights of St. Petersburg.” St Pete Pride will take over the downtown waterfront “for one high-energy night of music, community and unapologetic queer energy.”

“From viral TikTok stars to rising breakout artists, get ready for electrifying performances,” St Pete Pride announced. The evening will feature a market with local vendors, fireworks finale and more, bolstered by these acts. Expect even more across Pride's big weekend.

CHINCHILLA Following the success of her 2025 EP "Ok As I Am," London-based artist and producer Chinchilla returns newly independent, stepping fully into her power with her most compelling music to date.

From the fearless energy of breakout tracks "Little Girl Gone" and "Cut You Off" to the raw vulnerability of "Avoidance," she proves herself a truly multidimensional artist — undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the studio and a powerhouse on stage, known for her commanding live performances.

After a run of sold-out headline shows across the UK and Europe, 2026 marks the beginning of her next chapter with the release of her highly anticipated debut album. Learn more at Chinchilla-Official.com.

cain culto Cain Culto is layered and complex. A former worship pastorturned-queer renegade, his provocative take on left-field pop and hip-hop with global influences is unlike any other.

A DIY auteur, Culto develops bold, uncompromising music and visuals that pull at the threads of faith, politics, race and capitalism in the form of wild-eyed, original pop music.

Culto spent his youth hiding his queerness, trying to conform with his surroundings — a familiar tale of religious trauma many queer people experience — ultimately leading to a breakdown and hospitalization in 2021.

He ended his acclaimed Christian band ‘Ecclesia’ and broke from the church, reemerging as Cain Culto.

Today he is dedicated to making some of the boldest and most fearless alternative music around, bringing together high and low art, political protest, satire, controversy and undeniable pop magic as an antidote to mass-produced music culture. Learn more at CainCulto.com.

flyana boss Flyana Boss is more than just your average duo — they’re running riot over the rap game, breaking the genre’s archaic stereotypes with their eclectic palette and their self-professed weirdness. Since meeting at music college in Los Angeles, Bobbi LaNea and Folayan have been defying genres and making waves across the industry.

Committed to breaking stereotypes, championing female friendships and building a strong community, the two MC and multi-instrumentalists capture hearts with their refreshing authenticity. Witty, hilarious and entirely one-of-a-kind, Flyana Boss found viral success with their 2023 hit "You Wish" reached No. 1 on Spotify’s viral, piquing Missy Elliot’s ears who was such a fan she contributed a very special remix of the track.

After supporting the likes of Ke$ha and Janelle Monae on tour, they have released their debut EP "This Ain't The Album" (2024). Flyana Boss is now gearing up for a large project in the summer. Learn more at FlyanaBoss.com.

Partner Spotlight: Tampa International Airport Ryan Williams-Jent

F

lorida’s largest LGBTQ+ celebration is here — and whether you’re taking a trip to St. Petersburg or you’re looking to relax somewhere else after enjoying “Here Comes the Sun” — Tampa International Airport (TPA) is one way you can fly with pride.

Photo courtesy TPA

TPA is located in Tampa and serves the greater Tampa Bay region. The airport welcomes approximately 25 million passengers each year with over 100 nonstop domestic and international destinations.

“We call ourselves America’s Favorite Airport, and it’s true!” TPA advises. “Our parking is a breeze, our airside terminals are easy to navigate, our bathrooms are clean and our people are friendly. We also offer nonstop flights all over the world, including the Caribbean, Europe and Latin America, making it easy to connect the Tampa Bay region to the rest of the globe.”

TPA also stays connected with passengers through social media, often using the comedic voice of Phoebe the Flamingo. The massive sculpture is no stranger to selfies or a silly or snarky status.

“Our social media is where our personality really shines, and we love connecting with travelers through humor, heart and local pride,” TPA explains. “Phoebe, our famous 21-foot flamingo art installation, has become an icon of that spirit. She’s a symbol of joy, color, and Tampa Bay creativity, and she helps us show off the fun side of travel. Join the fun @FlyTPA!” The sculpture was named after the airport received more than 65,000 entries from across the world in 2023 — narrowing them down to Cora, Finn or Phoebe — but the work’s actual name is “Home.” It was chosen by artist Matthew Mazzotta.

“In his artist's statement, Mazzotta explains that the giant flamingo helps airport visitors explore the

ST PETE PRIDE 2026

concept of home through the lens of both people and wildlife,” TPA notes. “The exaggerated scale of the flamingo sculpture invites travelers to reflect on their own connections to their home base while immersing them in an underwater-like environment enhanced by dynamic lighting and water-like reflections.”

Mazzotta advised that the piece “aims to restore a sense of interaction and wonder in the airport, encouraging visitors to engage with the artwork and each other in a joyful, contemplative atmosphere.” It definitely does.

Creating a safe and joyful space is important to TPA, which says “we strive to make every traveler feel safe, respected and welcome.” They do so before, during and after St Pete Pride.

“We’re proud to celebrate St Pete Pride and the vibrant LGBTQ+ community that helps make Tampa Bay such a wonderful, dynamic region,” the airport advises. “Statistics show that LGBTQ+ travelers have above-average spending power and a strong passion for experiences and travel, which benefits both our region and our airport.”

Tampa International Airport is located at 4100 George J. Bean Pkwy in Tampa. For more information, visit TampaAirport.com.

Partner Spotlight: Tampa Bay Rowdies Ryan Williams-Jent

T

he Tampa Bay Rowdies are a St. Petersburg staple. Billed as “the first professional sports franchise in the area” and “one of the most recognizable and well-loved brands in soccer,” they were originally established in 1975.

The team won the North American Soccer League Soccer Bowl championship in its inaugural year and has been building its fanbase ever since. Its current club was founded in 2008.

The team played its inaugural season at Tampa’s George M. Steinbrenner Field in 2010 before moving to St. Petersburg’s Al Lang Stadium the following year.

It still calls the impressive venue home.

“Located directly on the waterfront of downtown St. Petersburg, Al Lang Stadium boasts one of the most picturesque backdrops of any soccer venue throughout North America,” the team describes it. The stadium has undergone “drastic renovations” since the team made it their home, “including the addition of midfield seating in the former outfield.”

Another key part of the team’s history is its sale to Major League Baseball’s Tampa Bay Rays in 2013. It united two inclusive franchises under one St. Petersburg sports umbrella.

Each team regularly supports LGBTQ+ events and organizations in the greater Tampa Bay region, chief among them St Pete Pride. That’s evident through regular Pride Night matches each year.

This year the Tampa Bay Rowdies Pride Night will take place on June 13 at 7:30 p.m. when the team plays the Hartford Athletic. This year’s tickets include a special Pride Accordion fan and Rowdies friendship bracelets for the first 1,500 fans.

The merchandise continues a long tradition of LGBTQ+-themed giveaways during Pride Night, something the Tampa Bay Rays will echo June 20 with a unique Pride hat. Be sure to bring yours to St Pete Pride!

The Tampa Bay Rowdies will hold their 2026 Pride Night June 13 at Al Lang Stadium, located at 230 1st St SE. For more information, visit RowdiesSoccer.com.
