But perhaps its most enticing draw is a welcoming community that embraces everyone. The LGBTQ+ hub of Florida’s Gulf Coast, St. Pete is home to St. Pete Pride, the largest Pride celebration in Florida and one of the largest in the nation, welcoming over 300,000 attendees last year. David Fischer, a local entrepreneur, was drawn to the area’s small-town feel and creative atmosphere. “It has this overtly creative group of individuals that reside here and are encouraged to celebrate their creativity,” he says. “It’s a community that’s tight knit and there’s nothing like it in a big city.”itStP
