Orlando’s big gay blockbuster Pride event, Come Out With Pride (Website), is back this year in downtown Orlando, following a mostly virtual event last year due to the pandemic.
The main event, the festival, will take place at noon on Saturday, October 15, through 9:30 p.m. at Lake Eola with programming taking place around the park complimented by the annual Come Out With Pride parade which kicks off at 4 p.m. and lasts until next year. Just kidding, it’ll be done in time for the fireworks at 9:30 p.m.
This year’s grand marshals include a whole gaggle of queer icons, local and otherwise, including Bungalower Media’s favorite drag queen and comedian Doug Bowser, who will be serving as the Grand Marshal, albeit posthumously. Other marshals include actor Michael James Scott, student leader and activist Will Larkins, and community leader Shea Cutliff.
The festival will also be headlined by RuPaul’s Drag Race alums Lady Camden and Yvie Oddly.
