While 15,000 is nothing to sneeze at, this was just scratching the surface. About 15,000 people attended the first event. At the time, it was a fairly modest neighborhood event, which included a beach party and parade.
The inaugural pride celebration was held in 2009. Running from April 2 through April 8, Miami Gay Pride Week will not disappoint in 2018. This year's week of events marks the 10-year anniversary of South Florida's (rainbow-colored) flagship LGBT event. That may be an overused cliche, but we're inclined to think the folks organizing and attending Miami Gay Pride Week must be having a grand old time. It said that time flies when you're having fun.
