The 17th Annual Miami Beach Pride Parade: A Celebration of Inclusivity, Unity, and Joy

Miami Beach, FL – Miami Beach Pride is thrilled to announce the return of its flagship event, the 17th Annual Miami Beach Pride Parade presented by CAN Community Health, set to take over iconic Ocean Drive on Sunday, April 6, 2025, starting at 12:00 PM. This vibrant parade serves as the pinnacle of a spectacular 12-day celebration across Miami Beach, uniting South Florida’s LGBTQ+ families, friends, co-workers, and allies alongside sponsor organizations and businesses.

This year’s parade promises to continue the tradition of classic Miami spectacle, featuring extravagant floats, dazzling drag queens, and the signature welcoming spirit that defines Miami Beach Pride. Spanning over nine blocks from 5th Street to 14th Street, parade-goers will enjoy one of the city’s most anticipated days of the year, with festivities that embody the joy, inclusivity, and unity that Miami Beach Pride represents. 

This year’s parade will feature an extraordinary lineup of Grand Marshals, including internationally acclaimed performer and trailblazer Sasha Colby. A champion for trans visibility and social justice, Colby has become a cultural icon, using her platform to amplify the voices of the LGBTQ+ community and advocate for equality. Known for her captivating performances and authentic representation of trans joy, Sasha is not only the reigning Miss Continental and winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 but also a powerful voice in the fight for trans rights and social justice.

“Sasha Colby embodies the spirit of Miami Beach Pride,” said Bruce Horwich, Board Chairman. “Her contributions as an artist, activist, and advocate inspire us to embrace authenticity, celebrate diversity, and stand united against injustice. We’re thrilled to have her as one of our grand marshals in this year’s parade as a symbol of empowerment and hope.”

As the signature event to cap off Miami Beach Pride’s 12-day celebration, the parade is an unmissable experience. There is no other event that transforms Ocean Drive into a giant, joyful celebration!
