Description
Wilton Manors’ signature event, the Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride Parade & Street Festival: Greater Ft Lauderdale's Largest LGBT Event, will be held on Saturday, June 15, 2019.
Event Details
The Marketplace and Festival will open at 3:00 pm, with a parade on Wilton Drive. There will be entertainment on stages throughout the day.
“This is a community-wide event that draws a diverse crowd of a little more than 40,000 individuals and families each year. “The parade, street vendors, and live performances really offer something for everyone and we are just so thrilled to be hosting this celebration for the 20th consecutive year.”
The festival is held in honor of the Stonewall riots, 2019 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. Tired of harassment from the New York Police Department, the city’s gay community staged a series of violent demonstrations on June 27, 1969. Each year, gay communities across the country hold events to honor the Stonewall Riots at the Stonewall Inn, which was the beginning of the Gay Rights Movement in the United States.
