Parking will be crowded all weekend, so we recommend taking advantage of PSTA’s park-and-ride services, and the SunnRunner, which includes multiple stops in Grand Central, the EDGE District, and downtown.
This Sunday, eleven blocks of Central Avenue will transform into a gigantic street carnival, all in the name of celebrating Pride Month. St Pete Pride’s popular Grand Central Street Fair will take place on Sunday, June 23, 12pm-5pm, in the Grand Central District. Enjoy block after block of entertainment, vendors, food, and community partners.

The Street Fair has expanded since last year, three blocks have been added, so the Street Fair now runs from 20th to 31st St. A new Family Fun Zone has been established this year as well, constituting everything from 28th to 31st. City organizers of the event anticipate tens of thousands of attendees of all ages coming to enjoy everything the Street Fair has to offer.
An open streets celebration for St. Pete Pride
The streets will be closed to traffic, allowing festival-goers to roam as they please and explore all that will be on display. In addition to specials from the many shops, restaurants and bars lining Central Avenue, there will also be live music, roving street performers, food trucks, an expansive market lining the sidewalks, and carnival games—there will be something for everyone.
Pride on Grand Central is sure to be a banger, with more than 200 vendors on site, alongside all of our favorite bars, restaurants, and haunts. There will be multiple performance stages, interactive games and experiences, karaoke, best-dressed contests, headline concerts, and much more, with hundreds of local businesses in attendance.
