Come Out With Pride is Orlando, Florida's annual LGBTQ pride event, organized by the nonprofit of the same name since 2005. Centered on a parade through Lake Eola Park in Downtown Orlando, it has grown into one of the largest pride gatherings in the state, drawing roughly 175,000 attendees in 2018.
It has civic importance and strong community identity in Central Florida.
Come Out With Pride traces its origin to Orlando's first pride parade in 2005, sponsored by the Metropolitan Business Association, now the Central Florida LGBT Chamber of Commerce
The event took on added significance after the 2016 Pulse nightclub attack, becoming a focal point for the community activities that grew around Pulse's memory and Orlando's broader LGBTQ resilience
What began as a single parade has expanded into a week-long schedule of programming leading up to the Lake Eola Park parade, with organizers including Jeff Prystajko running fundraising initiatives directing proceeds to LGBTQ charities and Central Florida community support
The event continues the tradition of American LGBTQ pride parades and festivals
rooted locally in Orlando's Metropolitan Business Association-sponsored first parade in 2005 and deepened in civic meaning after the 2016 Pulse nightclub attack
which made LGBTQ visibility and community solidarity central to the event's identity
