Where can you celebrate Pride in the Fort Lauderdale area? Take a look
June is here, and so is Pride Month.
Though Fort Lauderdale celebrated Pride with a parade in February, several cities in Broward have events planned through June.
Activities are open to everyone, with some focused on LGBTQ+ history and others on music, food and celebration. You can even curl up with a book or join the community in benefiting an important cause.
Here are some ways you can join the festivities in Broward County:
