Plans this year call for the street festival with music and vendors to begin at 3 p.m.
The Stonewall Pride Parade and Street Festival typically attracts 35,000 spectators and has a direct economic impact of more than a million dollars for the City of Wilton Manors, according to an independent study. “This will be the first Pride in South Florida in 2021, so we are putting safety protocols in place that will allow people to come out and celebrate together with a great outdoor event,” Sterling said. “This is great news for South Florida’s LGBTQ+ community and especially for Wilton Manors,” said Jeff Sterling, CEO of WMEG Community Marketing and Events which organizes the annual celebration. The annual parade and street festival - canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic - has been given the green light by city and county officials to take place as planned on Saturday, June 19.
