St. Augustine PRIDE is a not-for profit organization made up of volunteers from the St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and Northeast Florida region. It is our mission to promote unity, visibility, and self esteem among lesbians, gay men, bisexuals and transgender persons, and to create a positive image within the community in which we live. Through community activities and services, we strive to enhance mental and physical health, provide social support, and foster an awareness of the past and present contributions of our community members. Our annual festival and other activities offer a variety of information, services, and entertainment to everyone.
A Note from the Former Chair
Saturday was one of those days that finally came together. I worried about the weather, whether folks would come, if the vendors would make it, but then I remembered I am not really in control. So, as I stood in the middle of the field late in the afternoon, I looked to the North and saw dark clouds, to the west- dark clouds, to the south- dark clouds, to the east and the Atlantic and dark clouds. But over the Events Field in St Augustine we were partly cloudy with blue skies and sunshine. So for all of those folks who came out to NO rain we had a great time, with great music and shows, great food, and great vendors. Thanks to all of you who came and supported us. See you next year.

We hope you will enjoy what we have in store this year, and of course we could always use more help, so we encourage you to get involved with us in the planning process as well!
