PRIDE OF TAMPA

Pride Lives Here. Tampa Shines Together.

Our Mission
To unite organizations, businesses, leaders, and individuals in creating safe, inclusive, and joyful spaces that celebrate and strengthen Tampa Bay's LGBTQ+ community.

Our Vision
A Tampa Bay where LGBTQ+ individuals are visible, supported, empowered, and celebrated - not just during Pride season, but every day of the year.

Why Pride of Tampa Was Created
Pride of Tampa was formed to ensure that the LGBTQ+ community in Tampa Bay continues to have vibrant, inclusive spaces to gather, celebrate, and be visible. When a gap emerged in local Pride programming, community leaders, advocates, and volunteers stepped forward with a shared commitment: Pride in Tampa must continue - and it must grow. What began as a collective effort quickly evolved into a formal nonprofit organization rooted in collaboration, transparency, and long-term sustainability. Today, Pride of Tampa serves as a platform for celebration, connection, and community impact - year-round.
