Key west gay festival

Key West’s newest live act features performances produced and hosted by the iconic Christopher Peterson. La Te Da, right on the main drag of Duval Street, is a piano bar and restaurant serving artisanal cocktails and sass. The Birdcage Cabaret, formerly SideBar, is the pinnacle of Live Drag! The event honors the philosophy of 'One Human Family' and highlights the island's open and accepting atmosphere.

Events range from the Fido-friendly Pet Masquerade to the bedazzling Headdress Ball (proceeds of which go to promoting LGBTQ tourism on the island). When planning your visit, make sure to include plenty of time to check out the best gay bars in Key West, FL, for an unforgettable Pride experience.

Pride is a time where the community comes together, celebrates our individuality & beauty, and remembers all those who’ve stood up for our rights before us.

During Key West’s Pride Week in June, Island House hosts daily parties with plenty of attendees ready to swim. Convertito described the documentary as a powerful one that demonstrates resilience in the face of adversity. 

Drawing audience members to the Key West Theater is this year’s headlining performance on Wednesday, June 25 starring comedian Quin Lamar.

This five-day jamboree gives gals a chance to let their hair down however they choose. This performance is not only hilarious and contains great lip-syncing and comedy, but also some fantastic singing as well. As she describes it, there are no labels and no limits. 

As you head into the weekend, the first public event will be the street fair from the 700 block of Duval down to Truman Avenue.
