Ryde has been transformed into a sea of rainbow colours for the annual event - the seventh to be held on the Island.
Hundreds turned out yesterday (Saturday) as they lined the streets to watch the Pride parade weave its way through the town.
On Ryde Esplanade, there was a host of entertainment, from the Solent Gay Men's Chorus to BBC Radio 1 DJ, Dean McCullough.
And of course there was a big audience for the main headliner of the weekend's entertainment, former Pussycat Doll, Kimberly Wyatt, who drew last night's show to a close.
Isle of Wight Pride champions the importance of equality and diversity by highlighting the advances made for the LGBTQIA+ community in the UK and around the world and raising awareness of the prejudice and danger many still face.
Today, the party continues at the Pride Community Village at Eastern Gardens, where you'll find bars, a range of food stalls, local businesses and charity stalls and a special appearance by the Pride Unicorns.
There is also a ticketed event - Symphonix Pride, which features a 30-piece orchestra, live bands, Freddie Mercury & George Michael tributes plus drag sensation Cherry Liquor.
