Come Out With Pride Announces 2024 Pride Prom

Wednesday March 13, 2024

Come Out With Pride, Inc. ("COWP"), Orlando's nonprofit which produces Florida's largest single-day parade and festival celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community, will host for a third time an adult-only (21+) Pride Prom on Friday, April 12, 2024 from 8:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m at the Orlando Science Center.

The Science Center will be transformed into the largest Pride Prom ever. Presented by Pineapple Healthcare, this year's theme is "Be Your Brightest Self." The 2024 Pride Prom invites attendees to showcase their individuality and embrace their authenticity. Guests are encouraged to dress in bright colors, don neon outfits and accessorize with glow-in-the-dark accessories, symbolizing the radiant diversity and vibrancy of the LGBTQIA+ community.

"We're thrilled to host the 2024 Pride Prom in partnership with Pineapple Healthcare," said Tatiana Quiroga, Executive Director of Come Out With Pride. "This event is more than just a party; it's a celebration of self-expression, love, and acceptance. We want everyone to feel empowered to be their true selves and celebrate their identity in an accepting and inclusive environment, especially in Florida."

Presented by Tito's Handmade Vodka, we are pleased to extend an invitation for you to experience the VIP Lounge.

"With a neon-themed Pride Prom, we invite our guests to 'Be Your Brightest Self' and join us in celebrating the beautiful spectrum of identities within our community," added Quiroga. "Together, let's light up the night and create memories that will last a lifetime!"

Come Out With Pride is dedicated to providing inclusive and supportive experiences for LGBTQIA+ community members. Therefore, starting April 1st, they are seizing this chance to introduce an affirming billboard campaign just days before the Pride Prom. "We want our LGBTQIA+ community to know and be reminded that they are loved and accepted as their authentic selves," says Quiroga. "There's no better way to say that "Be Your Brightest Self" than with a billboard!"

In line with the mission of Come Out With Pride and their goal to offer programming all year round, this event is specifically designed for the LGBTQIA+ community, welcoming individuals who identify as trans, non-binary, and our allies. It will create a supportive environment where everyone can freely express their true selves and bring their date — or dates — who they may not have felt comfortable bringing to their high school prom.

Come Out With Pride invites you to experience an event of a lifetime at this year's Pride Prom.
