The Royal Poinciana Plaza will present “A Place for Pride,” a self-guided photo retrospective exploring the moments and milestones that have shaped LGBTQ+ life in our country and community. “A Place for Pride” is free and open to the public from June 25 through July 15 during The Royal’s operating hours (Mon-Sat 10-6, Sun 11-5). The exhibition will be installed in the plaza’s north and south breezeways nearest the shops Zimmermann and Lingua Franca.
