Thousands expected at ‘No Kings’ protests across Florida, including a march to Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago

A new round of “No Kings” protests is set to unfold Saturday across Florida as part of a coordinated day of action targeting President Donald Trump’s policies.

The protests — organized by a coalition of progressive groups including Indivisible and allied organizations — are expected to draw thousands statewide, continuing a movement that has grown steadily since its launch on Trump’s 79th birthday in 2025.

This weekend’s demonstrations are also being shaped by current events, with activists pointing to federal immigration enforcement, the ongoing war in Iran and economic pressures as key rallying points.

“What began in 2025 as a single day of defiance has become a sustained national resistance to tyranny, spreading from small towns to city centers and across every community determined to defend democracy. Our peaceful movement is bigger than ever,” organizers wrote in online calendar webpages.

The protests are being organized under the “No Kings” banner, a reference to what organizers describe as growing concerns about executive overreach. Organizers have consistently emphasized that events are intended to remain peaceful, with guidance encouraging participants to de-escalate conflicts and comply with local laws.

Saturday’s demonstrations mark the third major nationwide “No Kings” mobilization since 2025, with organizers increasingly relying on a decentralized model that spreads events across dozens of locations rather than concentrating crowds in a single city.

That approach is on display in Florida, where major metro rallies to smaller roadside demonstrations in suburban and rural communities will take place statewide. Specific event information can be found online.

South Florida

South Florida will host a major cluster of protests, including multiple events across Miami-Dade, Broward and Palm Beach counties, with organizers placing particular emphasis on visibility near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence.

In Palm Beach County, demonstrations are expected to build throughout the day before culminating in an evening protest near Trump’s Mar-a-Lago residence, adding a direct geographic and political focal point to the day’s events.

Organizers have scheduled multiple rallies across the county, including a 10 a.m. demonstration in Palm Beach Gardens at the intersection of PGA Boulevard and Campus Drive at 3188 PGA Blvd., and an 11 a.m. protest near Target at 1760 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd in West Palm Beach along Palm Beach Lakes Boulevard.

The day concludes with a 6 p.m. march beginning along South Flagler Drive and President Donald J. Trump Boulevard, where participants plan to walk roughly half a mile toward Mar-a-Lago during a “twilight demonstration.”

That event is designed to follow earlier protests and allow participants to attend multiple rallies before converging near the President’s private club. Organizers note that similar marches toward Mar-a-Lago have taken place repeatedly in recent years without incident.

“This is the ONLY South Florida NK3 taking place in the evening! So, you can attend another during the day, go home, shower, sleep it off, then come out again and #RAVE with us in Trump’s backyard!!!” organizers wrote in the event details.

In Miami, groups including Miami Indivisible, 50501 South Florida, the Black Liberation Movement, and Unidos U.S., will host the “No Kings! Nationwide Day of Defiance.” The high-profile demonstration starts at 11 a.m. in Little Havana at 801 SW 15th Avenue and SW 8th Street (Calle Ocho). The rally is designed to bring together local advocacy groups and residents in one of the city’s most symbolically significant neighborhoods.

“In this highly symbolic space — the epicenter of immigrant Miami — we will create a visible platform for dialogue, participation, and solidarity, particularly among historically underrepresented communities,” organizers said in a statement. “We will send a clear message: Miami stands for democracy, accountability, and a government that works for all and not just for the powerful.”

Additional protests are scheduled across the region, including in Miami Beach at 11 a.m. at Pride Park at 1809 Meridian Ave., Fort Lauderdale at 1 p.m. at the Sunrise Blvd and Jimmy Buffet Memorial Highway.

Tampa Bay

The Tampa Bay region is expected to see one of the highest concentrations of activity in the state, with events spread across Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties throughout the day.

A morning rally at 10:30 a.m. in St. Petersburg takes place at Tyrone Square, located at 6901 22nd Avenue N. The Tampa event kicks off later at 2 p.m. at Tampa City Hall, located at 315 E. Kennedy Blvd.

A coalition of community leaders, advocates, and grassroots supporters put out a statement about the event. That group is led by the League of Women Voters of the St. Petersburg Area, Pinellas NOW (National Organization for Women), Indivisible FL-13 and other co-sponsors.

“We are proud to stand with people from all walks of life to peacefully protest,” St. Petersburg Area League of Women Voters President Jackie Azis said. “While protesting alone will not bring change, there is power in demonstrating. We will unite and rise to preserve our freedoms and our democracy in the face of this ongoing constitutional crisis.”

In Pasco, the Pasco Resists group will organize across three locations, Hudson, Trinity and Wesley Chapel and expect thousands to attend across all three sites. The Hudson event starts at 10 a.m. at 18934 US-19, the Trinity event starts at noon at 3240 Little Road, and the Wesley Chapel event starts at 2 p.m. at FL-56 and Grand Cypress Drive.

Additional demonstrations are planned in Clearwater, Largo, Gulfport and Temple Terrace, alongside suburban and exurban locations such as Brandon, Sun City Center, with further events in Plant City and Lakeland.

Southwest Florida

Southwest Florida will also see a significant slate of demonstrations.

Three morning events take place at 10 a.m. in Manatee County: one planned University Town Center area at 101 N. Cattlemen Road near the Sarasota county line, another at Cortez Commons at 5584 Cortez Road near Bradenton, and an event in Ellenton starts at 10 a.m. at the Rocky Bluff Branch Library at 6750 US-301 for residents north of the Manatee River.

Sarasota County events begin at 10 a.m. in Venice at Michael Biehl Park at 100 Tampa Ave. W., then continue at 4 p.m. in Sarasota at Payne Park, located at 2010 Adams Lane near downtown.

Further south, protests are also planned in Fort Myers, Cape Coral, Naples and surrounding Lee County and Collier County communities. Those include a 9 a.m. protest in Fort Myers at 13499 Bell Tower Drive, a 10 a.m. protest in Naples at 3315 Tamiami Trail, and at 10 a.m. in Sanibel in the Sanibel Community Park at 2231 Periwinkle Way.

Central Florida

In Central Florida, demonstrations are expected throughout the Orlando metro area and along the Interstate 4 corridor with events planned at Orlando City Hall and in surrounding neighborhoods such as Baldwin Park.

Protestors are gathering at noon at Orlando City Hall at 400 S. Orange Ave in the heart of downtown across from the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts and less than a mile from Lake Eola.

Two No Kings events are also scheduled in the picturesque Orlando neighborhood of Baldwin Park. The first starts at 10 a.m. in front of Westminster Baldwin Park at 2661 Lake Baldwin Lane near Veterans Park, while the second begins at 5:30 p.m. at Baldwin Park at 4202 Pelican Lane at the intersection of New Broad Street/Maguire Boulevard and Bennett Road.

No King rallies are also happening Saturday in neighboring Osceola and Seminole counties. Sanford’s event starts at 10 a.m. at 251 W. 1st Street, while the event for the Lake Mary area also begins at 10 a.m. at 7055 CR 46A in Heathrow. Attendees must RSVP to an 11 a.m. protest in Kissimmee in order to learn more details.

North Florida

Jacksonville is also expected to see one of the largest single-day mobilizations in the state, where organizers are planning what they describe as a full-day demonstration that includes a large march downtown.

Participants will gather at 1 p.m. at the Friendship Fountain, located at 1015 Museum Cir., before marching across the Main Street Bridge to the Duval County Courthouse for a rally scheduled from 2 to 4 p.m. Organizers say the event could draw as many as 15,000 participants and will be supported by smaller satellite protests across the city earlier in the day.

The Jacksonville program is structured as both a protest and a broader civic event. Following the conclusion of the rally, attendees are invited to continue the experience at No Kings “After Dark” — an evening of celebration featuring burlesque performances, spoken word, and live music, including a performance by local talent Mama Blue. Additional after-parties and community gatherings will take place throughout the city.

“Joy is resistance, and community is power,” organizers said in a statement. “This is more than a march — it’s a reflection of the strength, creativity, and unity of the people. It’s a reminder that there is strength in numbers and we are not alone.”

Northwest Florida

Protests are also planned across Northwest Florida with events scheduled in Pensacola, Panama City and Tallahassee, an area that is among the more conservative-leaning regions of the state.

Demonstrators will gather at 11 a.m. in Pensacola at the intersection of North 9th Avenue and Airport Boulevard Panama City protestors will rally at 4 p.m. along the Hathaway Bridge connecting Panama City and Panama City Beach.

A 3 p.m. protest is scheduled in Tallahassee near the Florida Historic Capitol, bringing the demonstration directly into the state’s political center.

Democratic elected officials campaigning for office are already signaling a strong presence at events throughout the state, many of which include voter registration initiatives. The protests also take place shortly after the Florida GOP suffered some surprising losses at the polls.
