Prouder Together is a collective of individuals, artists, businesses, non-profits, corporations, venues, and destinations that believe in supporting and stabilizing Pride festivals, empowering a community’s ability to celebrate each other and demonstrate the strength in solidarity through collaboration within and across the LGBTQ+ community.

Honor. Support.
Celebrate. Elevate.

After touring Florida on our ‘Spread Queer Cheer Tour’ and getting to know these other LGBTQ+ communities better, it became clear to me that The Crown’s mission and commitment to ‘honor, support, celebrate, and elevate’ far exceeds our community at the very tip of Cape Cod.

With numerous Pride celebrations disappearing over the last five + years, and The Crown’s dedication to the queer community at large, we have the opportunity, and more importantly, the responsibility to not only honor and support but to elevate and celebrate each other. We must stand up, speak out, and fight for one another. To come together as a queer community collaboratively to not only just survive but to thrive. To show the strength in our unity and the power in our collective dedication to one another.

In 2024, the Prouder Together initiative is committed to strengthening and sustaining Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride, which will take place June 12-16. As the presenting sponsor of Wilton Manors Stonewall Pride, Prouder Together has committed to raising funds to support this year’s parade and festival in the ‘second gayest city in America,’ but will also sponsor and program the festival’s Black Excellency Stage. Additionally, The Crown and Prouder Together will produce Pride Fantasia: A Celebration of The Arts benefitting Sunserve on June 12 at The Venue, The Eagle’s Leather & Bear Ball on Friday, June 14, and Flockfest’s Splash Pool Party ‘Rainbow Edition’ on Sunday, June 17.
