The LGBTQ+ group celebrated Pride Month with a parade through Sarasota's Bayfront Park.
Sarasota's LGBTQ community brought their cats and dogs to Bayfront Park for a joyful pet parade June 13.
Pet owners dressed up their dogs and cats in vibrant rainbow colors for the Project Pride SRQ event, where staff handled out flags and accessories for the assembling crowd.
The group eventually headed through Bayfront Park and looped back around for a best-dressed contest that awarded the most stylish pets some fun prizes.
