Trans Pride 2026 General Schedule
TIGLFF’s Trans Pride Weekend will take place from March 26 to March 29, 2026. This 6th year celebration builds on the legacy of the Tampa Bay Transgender Film Festival while expanding into a weekend of films and community events across Tampa Bay. Please review the schedule below for a tentative list of film screenings and related events.
With the exception of the Night of 1000 Oscars (21+ Dance Party & Gender Ball) TIGLFF’s Trans Pride is intended to be a family-friendly celebration. However, not all films have been rated at this time. Some screenings may include emotionally challenging themes, particularly for members of the transgender and gender nonconforming community. Topics may include dysphoria, violence, and death. Viewer discretion is advised.
An event registration or ticketing process is being developed for each community event, and an RSVP or ticket purchase will be needed to know the specific locations of our events. If you have ticket/RSVP access and know the event location, we ask that you do not share this information publicly for the safety of our community.
If you need assistance securing your ticket and/or RSVP to access an event location, please DM us on social media or email renee@tiglff.com
