Largo Celebrates Pride Month

Building the Community of Choice in Tampa Bay means creating a welcoming, equitable and compassionate Largo. Efforts to promote an inclusive city directly support our long-term focus on community pride and sustainability by enhancing the vitality of our community. To support these efforts and to join our neighboring communities, the City of Largo is participating in several activities and events throughout the month of June.
