A Celebration of Joy, Identity, and Community

The inaugural St. Joe Pride Pageant was more than a dazzling display of talent and self-expression, it was a powerful affirmation of queer joy, resilience, and belonging. As we honor Miss Vivian Versace, Mr. Clint Torres Bliss, and Mx. Himbo Shaggins, we also celebrate every performer, volunteer, and audience member who made this night unforgettable. This is just the beginning of a tradition that uplifts and unites. Here's to many more years of sparkle, pride, and unapologetic authenticity in St. Joe!
