Pride of Color Orlando 2023
About this Event
Join us on June 24th from 12 - 4 PM at Kaya Orlando for the second Pride of Color celebration in honor of Pride Month!

Pride of Color is a collectively organized space, to celebrate Queer Black, Indigenous, Asian American, Latinx, Pacific Islander, etc. communities and our joy. We will have food, local organizations, artists, performances, and most importantly, culture! Join us as we honor the LGBTQ+ communities of color in the Orlando area and beyond, our voices both past and present, and our rich history.

In these hostile times, we recognize outlets for joy cultivated by us, for us to honor our identities and find solidarity amongst each other is vitally important - we can't wait to celebrate with you!
