SoFLa Local:
2nd Annual Miami Beach Gay Pride is Today!

After a highly successful event in 2009 that attracted more than 20,000 people, the City of Miami Beach is gearing up for another historic Gay Pride Parade Festival and Expo set for today (Saturday, April 17, 2010) on Ocean Drive. The parade kicks off at 12:00 noon followed by the Expo and Concerts until 8:00 pm.

Immediately following the parade on Ocean Drive, the Expo in Lummus Park will feature booths, food kiosks and exhibits, creating a massive Gay Pride exhibition area for businesses, community organizations and entertainers to showcase their pride and support of LGBT equality.

Miami Beach Gay Pride Festival and Expo 2010 will culminate with entertainment by local, national and international recording artists including Robin S, Crystal Waters & Estelle and music sets by international DJs. This year's Grand Marshalls are Sharon Gless from "Queer as Folk" and "Cagney & Lacey", plus Lt. Dan Choi, the outed Army Officer who served in the Iraq war from 2006-2007.


The Miami Beach Gay Pride brings together members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community, their friends, allies, and supporters in celebration of the unique spirit and culture of the LGBT community by producing free, safe, quality mass-appeal events that are open to all, such as the Parade, Festival and adjunct Miami Beach Pride sanctioned events.
