BIG NEWS!
Sapphic St Pete Joins the St Pete Pride Family
We are thrilled to announce that Sapphic St Pete is officially joining St Pete Pride! Returning the first week of November 2026, this week-long festival continues a beautiful tradition dedicated to centering lesbians, queer women, and sapphic-identifying community members. Originally founded by Rachel Covello to fill a vital need for intentional representation, the festival features everything from comedy and art to social mixers and speed dating. By bringing Sapphic St Pete under our year-round umbrella, we are doubling down on our mission to ensure every identity within the Tampa Bay LGBTQ+ community feels seen, celebrated, and empowered.
