NYS Pride Ski Weekend 2025 Apres Ski Tea Dance 1

A few hundred of y’all came out to spend a fab wintry weekend in the beautiful Catskills with three days of skiing, snowboarding, an après-ski tea dance, live entertainment, and more.

Produced by Big Gay Hudson Valley, Ulster County Tourism and I LOVE NY, the 2nd annual NYS Pride Ski Weekend raised funds to support the essential work of the Hudson Valley LGBTQ+ Community Center and the Pride Center of the Capital Region.

THIS WEEKEND: Saturday, April 12. Jake. Sydnee. Esther. LIVE at Assembly in Uptown Kingston.

Get ready to GASP in delight as the funniest LGBTQ comics take the stage for a night of side-splitting laughs at Gay Gasp!

This ain’t your average comedy show, darling—it’s a full-throttle, glitter-packed comedy extravaganza with a cast that’s bold, brash, and unapologetically queer!

It’s time to leave your cares at the door and come ready for a night filled with snark, sass, and just the right amount of shade, so grab your friends (and your sequins) and remember that laughter is the best accessory—because honey, nothing is more glamorous than joy.

Doors open at 7pm for cocktails and other libations with your community. The good vibes and beats will be served up for cocktail hour, with the show starting at 8pm.

The show will contain adult themes and is appropriate for audiences 18+

Book ahead and save: General Seating tickets are $30 in advance, $35 at the door. Visit biggayhudsonvalley.com to book your tickets now.
