SUMMARY: Join the LGBTQ community to celebrate Palm Beach PrideFest Saturday, March 25 & Sunday, March 26, 2017, noon to 6 pm both days in Bryant Park, downtown Lake Worth. I always do the parade on Sunday which starts at 11 then file into Bryant Park afterwards for the remainder of the day. But I am going both days - Saturday, because it is usually "quieter" and then again on Sunday to see folks I missed on Saturday. This event features non-stop entertainment, delicious food, awesome merchants and local businesses and organizations, games & fun for all. Admission is $8 in advance and $10 at the gate; covers you for the whole day. $8 tickets are sold all along the parade route. There will be many vendors there selling food, drink, clothing, things for homes/businesses, etc so bring cash for food/drink and credit card for all other purchases. Between 9:30-10, I find a shady spot on the south side of the street to watch the parade. (Private message me to coordinate the exact location.) Parking is a BEAST, to put it mildly. Get there early to find a convenient, legal street parking spot. DO NOT park near the entrance gate unless you have a handicap sticker or a resident parking decal. DO NOT park near the public boat dock even if you see an open spot; you will get a hefty ticket and/or get towed. If you do not get a ticket, parking is FREE! (LOL) The Bryant Park has a few shade trees, tables, benches, a lots of grass, and even a beautiful barrier wall along the intercoastal waterway. The weather is forecast for 80 degrees and partly cloudy/partly sunny for Sunday. I recommend wearing a hat, putting on sun screen, wearing light clothing, and wearing sensible shoes - unless you are going as a drag queen, then all bets are off. (LOL) One year I used used an umbrella/parasol for shade; it was festive and did the trick of keeping me shaded and cool. |
