Wave your flags, TBAY.

While it may not be Pride Month just yet, Tampa is already gearing up for a celebratory weekend. Cigar City is getting ready to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community with a day-long shindig this Saturday, March 25.

Here’s what’s in store:

The Tampa Pride Street Festival | Cuban Club, 2010 N. Avenida Republica de Cuba | 10:45 a.m.-6 p.m.

  • Bands perform on the venue’s main stage every hour beginning at 11 a.m.
  • Tantalize your taste buds with treats from the food trucks and vendors on 9th Avenue.

Tampa Pride Diversity Parade | Historic Ybor City | 4 p.m.-7 p.m.

  • The colorful mix of floats, music, and performers will head down 7th Avenue and end at Centennial Park.

Pro tip: Stick around the Cuban Club as the sun sets at around 7 p.m. for the Pride@Night concert. We heard Cupcakke is bringing her rap prowess to TBAY.
