About LGBTQ+ Orlando
Orlando's gay nightlife spreads across several neighborhoods rather than one strip, with the flagship Southern Nights in the Milk District and a long-standing community core around Mills Avenue and Thornton Park. Downtown adds Hamburger Mary's and Stonewall near Church Street. Orlando Pride fills Lake Eola Park in October, and the city also draws a huge crowd for the unofficial Gay Days each spring, built around the theme parks. Beyond the resorts, Orlando pairs its year-round warm weather with a friendly, spread-out scene and a resilient community.
