Manatee Pride Home

Because the health, well-being and security of our community is first and foremost, in an abundance of caution, and, in keeping with government’s directives to avoid mass gatherings in light of the coronavirus, we postponed the 7th Annual Manatee Pride Festival, however, we cancelled the event, since the government did not lift the order to ‘distance’ and prohibiting groups of more than 10 to congregate. And we don’t know if/or/when those orders will be lifted. We know that this may disappoint and inconvenience some, but we must be responsible. In the meanwhile, please, be safe, and make plans to celebrate with us in 2021. PRIDE ON!!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS because they support our community
