About Grand Strand Pride
Grand Strand Pride is an afternoon Pride celebration at Nance Plaza in downtown Myrtle Beach. It brings together LGBTQ+ organizations and community members with a DJ and entertainment throughout the afternoon.
Grand Strand Pride calls itself the advocacy voice of the local LGBTQ+ community, and its name doubles as a motto: People Respecting Inclusion, Diversity and Equality. In addition to the Pride event, the group speaks out on state and local issues. It has backed Columbia's ordinance protecting minors from conversion therapy and opposed a South Carolina lawsuit challenging federal protections for LGBTQ people, and it shares guidance on making schools welcoming for LGBTQ students and staff.
The Pride celebration runs from 1 to 6 p.m. at Nance Plaza. DJ Trevor D provides music from the stage, performers take the spotlight through the afternoon, and LGBTQ resource organizations set up exhibits. Food and drinks are available from restaurants next to the plaza. The organization also raises funds through campaigns such as Giving Tuesday.
