Pride is coming back to Manatee County! The Fabulous Arts Foundation and Oscura are proud to present the 4th Annual Friendly City Pride.

Our mission has always been keeping the community connected, and this year’s festival is all about celebrating the vibrant, resilient LGBTQ+ community right here in Bradenton. Join us for a day of unity, visibility, and joy in a space built for everyone to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

Friendly City Pride features an expansive local vendor market showcasing queer-owned and ally-led small businesses, artisans, and community resources. Alongside the market, prepare for an incredible, curated lineup of special performances throughout the day, featuring top-tier local artists and entertainers hand-selected to bring the spirit of Pride to life.

Whether you are coming out to shop local, enjoy the live entertainment, or simply stand in solidarity with your neighbors, Friendly City Pride is where community connects.
