In a year of firsts, the City of Gulfport is debuting a day-long Pride event throughout Beach Boulevard, and key local locations on Saturday, May 29.
“We’re so excited and so is everyone else,” said Suzie King, owner of SIK Promotions, co-organizer of Gulfport Pride.
Money raised from the event will benefit the LGBTQ Resource Center of the Gulfport Public Library.
The event in Gulfport, happening before St. Pete’s month-long celebrations in June, is a co-effort by SIK Promotions, LocalShops1 and the City of Gulfport.
The Line Up:
3:30 p.m: Gulfport Gecko Amalgamated Marching Band marches from the Gulfport Recreation Center.
4 p.m: Pride Flag Raising at the Gulfport Public Library.
4-6 p.m: ArtOut Reception at the Gulfport Public Library.
