Drag Queen Story Hour with Angel Elektra

Drag Queen Story Hour (DQSH) is just what it sounds like— a drag queen reading stories to children in libraries, schools, bookstores and even here in a park! Angel Elektra (she, her/they, them), Storyteller/Founder & Executive Director of DQSH Miami will be reading some of her favorite children’s books and providing craft supplies and guidance to create unicorn hats. Open to all ages and sensory abilities capture the imagination and play of the gender fluidity of childhood with a glamorous, positive, and unabashedly queer role model.

*15 minutes has been built into the program to end at 3:15 pm to enable time to complete your craft project!

DQSH is free. RSVP so we know you are attending!

Calming Pavilion

Sunday, April 10 | 1:30 pm – 7:00 pm

For LGBTQ+ constituents and/or families and caretakers with children who experience the world through a diversity of cognitive, hearing, visual and mobility challenges Miami Beach Pride’s NEW Calming Pavilion will address a need to provide a safe sensory space to promote and advocate the rights to live an open and happy life as an individual with a disability. 

Featuring separate tented rooms equipped with noise-cancelling headsets, soft seats, art-therapy activities (fidgets, puzzles, coloring book activities) the Calming Pavilion, managed and staffed by special-needs professionals from Miami-Dade and Broward school systems will address a need to provide full and meaningful inclusion for ALL attendees at Miami Beach Pride’s Festival weekend in Lummus Park.
