$25 Donation - Happy 20th Anniversary

We're thrilled to celebrate our 20th Anniversary! 🎉

Come Out With Pride, Inc. is the 501c3 non-profit that hosts Orlando's annual LGBTQIA+ Pride celebration. Founded by a group of dedicated individuals, Come Out With Pride was established in 2004 by The Metropolitan Business Association (The Pride Chamber). The following year, they teamed up with GLBSU, a student organization at UCF, who shared their vision of promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusivity. Their partnership brought about the first annual festival, which took place on October 9, 2005, near the Orange County Regional History Center, to celebrate National Coming Out Day. Come Out With Pride, symbolizing hope, resilience, and love, quickly became popular, prompting a move to Lake Eola Park in 2007. Since then, this modest gathering has evolved into a large-scale festival, attracting over 220,000 attendees in 2023, making it one of the biggest single-day Prides in the Southeast. For 20 years, Come Out With Pride has been a beacon of unity and resilience, fostering acceptance and valuing diversity. As we celebrate our 20th anniversary, we remain committed to our mission of inclusivity and community. Come Out With Pride has made a significant impact in promoting LGBTQIA+ inclusivity and unity over the past 20 years. It has become one of the biggest Pride celebrations in the Southeast, and symbolizing hope, resilience, and love.

In addition, Come Out With Pride is a year round non-profit organization, creating accepting spaces and experiences for members of our LGBTQIA+ community. We aim to change hearts and minds — and make it possible for everyone in the LGBTQIA+ community and our allies to live authentically.
