Compass Community Center is proud to announce Palm Beach Pride & Parade 2026, taking place March 28–29, at Bryant Park in Lake Worth Beach. This year’s theme, Act Out Loud, is presented in honor and support of the performing arts, recognizing the vital role performance, storytelling, and creative expression play in LGBTQ+ culture, visibility, and resilience.
Palm Beach Pride & Parade is one of the region’s most anticipated annual LGBTQ+ celebrations, welcoming thousands of community members, families, allies, and visitors for a weekend centered on joy, inclusion, and connection.
The two-day festival will feature live performances, a Youth Village, a community marketplace, food trucks, health and wellness resources, and interactive experiences for all ages. The Palm Beach Pride Parade will take place on Sunday, March 29 – on Lake and Lucerne Avenues in downtown Lake Worth Beach – bringing the streets to life with color, creativity, and pride.
“Act Out Loud reflects our commitment to uplifting creative expression as a way to connect, celebrate identity, and build belonging,” said Compass’ Marketing & Media Director, Lety Gonzalez. “Through this theme, we celebrate creativity as both an art form and a powerful vehicle for self-expression, connection, and belonging.”
Compass Community Center is currently inviting vendors and community partners to apply to participate in the festival marketplace, as well as volunteers who want to help bring Palm Beach Pride & Parade 2026 to life. Pride relies on the energy, talent, and commitment of the community, and there are opportunities for businesses, organizations, and individuals to get involved at every level.
Additional details regarding performers, sponsors, and special programming will be announced in the coming months.
