"Dear GayDays Community,
After extensive evaluation and many difficult conversations, we have made the decision to pause the GayDays Orlando event originally scheduled for June 2026.
This decision follows significant changes to our host hotel agreement, the loss of key corporate sponsorship support impacting LGBTQIA+ events nationwide, and broader external challenges affecting Pride and community events across the country. These factors made it impossible to deliver the GayDays experience at the level our community expects and deserves.
This was not a decision we took lightly. For more than three decades, GayDays has been about bringing our community together to celebrate connection, visibility, and pride. Our commitment to that mission remains unchanged.
This pause gives us the opportunity to thoughtfully reimagine the future of GayDays and build a stronger, more sustainable event. Our focus is on returning with an experience that reflects the energy, scale, and community spirit that have always defined GayDays.
We will be sharing updates in the coming months and inviting community feedback as we shape the next chapter together.
To everyone who has supported GayDays over the years — thank you. Your support, loyalty, and belief in this event mean everything to us.
We look forward to celebrating together again soon.
With appreciation,
Charles & Josh
