Visitors can celebrate equality, applaud the unveiling of a permanent rainbow crosswalk on Key West's iconic Duval Street and attend the final rounds of a nationally renowned cocktail competition at Key West Pride 2015. Set for Wednesday through Sunday, June 10-14, the festival salutes diversity on the subtropical island internationally known as a top gay and lesbian vacation spot.

Festival events are to begin Wednesday afternoon, June 10, with the unveiling of a rainbow crosswalk at the intersection of Duval and Petronia streets, the heart of Key West's LGBT entertainment district. Co-sponsored by the City of Key West and the Key West Business Guild, the rainbow crosswalk is to be imprinted permanently on the pavement connecting all four corners of the intersection.
