🌈 Celebrate Pride with Purpose and Plates Full of Flavor

June is Pride Month, and nowhere in Florida is the celebration more vibrant than in St. Petersburg. Home to the largest Pride event in the state, St. Pete Pride is more than a parade—it’s a powerful, month-long tribute to love, inclusion, and community. At A Fresh Connection Catering, we’re proud to support these celebrations by doing what we do best: bringing people together over exceptional food.

From intimate backyard brunches to bold, colorful block parties, we offer Pride Event Catering that’s as flavorful as it is fabulous. Whether you're planning a Pride fundraiser, corporate luncheon, or private celebration with chosen family, our team can craft a custom menu that’s inclusive, allergy-aware, and visually stunning.

🎉 Think:

• Rainbow fruit platters bursting with fresh, local flavor 🍓🍍🫐

• Bold grazing tables with colorful dips, veggies, and finger foods 🧀🥕🌈

• Signature cocktails or mocktails with tropical flair 🍹

• Festive cupcakes, trifles, or mini cheesecakes in every color of the spectrum 🧁

  
  

And because we specialize in catering events of 30 or more guests, you can rest assured that your Pride party—whether it’s a rooftop toast or an all-out block bash—will be organized, delicious, and stress-free.

So this June, let your celebration be a reflection of what Pride is all about: love, authenticity, creativity, and connection. And let us handle the food—because every guest deserves a seat at the table, and something unforgettable on their plate.

🎓 Graduation Parties with Style (and Zero Stress)

Graduation season is in full swing—and in the Tampa Bay area, that means backyard blowouts, beachside barbecues, and banquet hall bashes honoring high school and college grads. At A Fresh Connection Catering, we know that planning a celebration for your graduate is a big deal. You want it to be personal, polished, and perfectly executed—and that’s where we come in.

We specialize in graduation party catering for groups of 30 or more, which means we’re equipped to handle large family gatherings, multi-family parties, and even school-hosted receptions with ease.
