Support Naples Pride Fest

Dear members, friends and allies of the LGBTQ+ community, we need your help!

The Naples City Council is set to vote on issuing a permit for Naples Pride Fest 2025.

However, the estimated security costs proposed by the City of Naples have surged by 200-300% compared to last year, creating a significant challenge for hosting this vital community event.

We firmly believe the permitting process and city costs for Pride Fest should be fair and consistent with other local events, to ensure this cherished celebration remains accessible to everyone.

We also urge the return of the family-friendly drag show to the main stage.

Drag entertainment, a vibrant and expressive art form, has been an integral part of Pride events for decades. Inclusive and open to all ages, drag shows create a joyful atmosphere By holding drag shows outdoors, we ensure this treasured art form remains accessible to the entire community.
