Come Out With Pride, the nonprofit-run LGBTQIA+ festival and parade, takes over Lake Eola Park and nearby downtown Orlando streets on Saturday, Oct. 17, and the City of Orlando has published a schedule of street closures around the park and the parade route.
General admission is free, according to the organizer. The day includes two stages, the Diva Stage for drag and local performers and the Sonic Bloom Field for DJs, along with a marketplace and vendor area, and it closes with fireworks over Lake Eola. Organizers report more than 230,000 people attended in 2025. Paid VIP tickets are sold separately, and WESH reported VIP parking at $25.
Parade and closures
The Most Colorful Parade begins at 4 p.m. where Washington Street meets Orange Avenue, according to the city. Saturday closures posted by the city:
- Robinson Street, Rosalind to Summerlin: 8 a.m.-8 p.m.
- Orange Avenue, Colonial Drive to Concord Street: one westside lane stays open, the rest closed 10 a.m.-8 p.m.

- From 1:30-8 p.m.: Orange Avenue from Washington to Central; Central Boulevard from Orange to Rosalind; and Rosalind Avenue from Central to Robinson.

Eola Drive, between Robinson and Washington, closes earlier, on Thursday, Oct. 15, at 8 p.m., and stays shut until Sunday, Oct. 18, at 4 a.m.
The city said closure times may change with conditions and that Orlando police will help direct traffic along the route. Street parking near the park is limited, and the organizer recommends arriving early and using downtown garages a short walk from Lake Eola.
