Show Your True Colors at Miami Beach Pride

The culmination kicks off with the two-day Pride Festival (April 11 and 12 at noon) at Lummus Park, and the most colorful parade of all, with a “Pride Is Infinite” theme, comes marching into Ocean Drive on Day 2. Keep an eye out for R House Wynwood‘s standout looks and resident queens.
