Pride might feel a little different this year but know that we can all still connect to and celebrate our community, even without a parade or a festival.

Local LGBTQ+ organizations up and down the Hudson River Valley are working hard to ensure that, while we aren’t able to gather together and celebrate our diversity the same as we have in years past, there are still plenty of virtual activities to keep us all connected and engaged.

Below are a few highlights of programming being offered this June. Did we miss your event? Please drop us a line and we’ll be sure to get it posted.

Happy Pride!

Wall of Color: A Socially Distant Show of Pride

Celebrate LGBTQ+ Pride month with a stroll by Bluecashew Kitchen Homestead (Kingston) for a socially distant showing of Gerald (Jerry) Hopkins’s Wall of Color, on display all month long.

Join the community on Fri Jun 5th from 4p – 7p for a socially distant opening of the exhibition, hosted by Jay Blotcher and BGHV’s Stephan Hengst. The nearby Stockade Tavern will be offering cocktails to-go for those that would like to grab a beverage for their walk in the neighborhood.
