The massive outdoor market brings in folks from all over Tampa Bay.

We know, We know. You might be experiencing a little decision fatigue after checking out our robust events lineup for this weekend. We apologize, but we have just one more idea to toss in the hat.

This month, the Market at Water Street is hosting a Pride Month Celebration Sunday, June 18 from 10 a.m.-2 p.m.

Here’s a peek at the experience:

  • Listen to upbeat all-inclusive tunes from local DJ Shannon C
  • Stop by the Tampa Bay International Gay and Lesbian Film Festival (which takes place every October) booth to check out some of the featured short films and documentaries
  • Browse the “Artist Row.” This month, the market is bringing together LGBTQIA+ artists to show some of their collection of work.
  • Skip the hassle of doing your makeup and have an artist paint your face with Pride-themed designs
  • Learn about services and support from local nonprofit Metro Inclusive Health
