Get off your app and head out to make some new friends! The Hudson Valley may not have many dedicated “gay bars” but the region is plenty friendly to anyone looking to have a good time.

You’re most likely to find a large crowd at an event organized by one of the area’s many organizations that support the local LGBTQ+ community.
