We have our glamorous VIP Gala Friday night with prizes and surprises, including a vocal performance by the amazing Beth Anne Sacks. This is our third year for this tribute and we are honored to have Josean Garcia – a PULSE survivor – here to flip the symbolic switch that will light up buildings throughout the county in rainbow hues. Our Pride Lights the Night activation is also important because we pay tribute to the victims and families of the PULSE nightclub shooting. I think it’s great that the local government is so invested in the LGBTQ+ community here that they proudly fly the rainbow flag over City Hall. I truly enjoy the rainbow flag raising ceremony at Miami Beach City Hall.
