St. Pete, Florida is home to the state's largest Pride festival, one that will be in a new location this year.
Last year, St. Pete Pride welcomed more than 250,000 attendees, and the crowd is expected to be even larger this year in its new location overlooking the Tampa Bay waterfront.
Three main events will make up the celebration, which takes place June 23-25.
