NYC’s own Showbiz Spitfire is back to make your holiday season merry + bright with an evening full of jokes, songs, and yuletide cheer. Catch three performances in Newburgh, Rosendale and Albany this December 10th, 11th + 12th.

Make your yuletide just a bit gayer with the beloved holiday tradition! BGHV's annual burlesque spectacular returns for a 2021 season with shows in Newburgh, Rosendale and Albany beginning on Black Friday.

BGHV's annual family-friendly fall fest returned on Friday October 8, 2021 with an all-new home at Highland's Wilklow Orchards. Nearly 450 folks came out for haaayrides, apple picking, pumpkin painting, cider donuts, crafts by The Dutchess Pride Center and dancing to the beats of Superior Sounds.

BGHV and Story Screen Beacon are reviving three quintessential 90’s Camp Classic favorites for our inaugural Queer Film Series. Whether you’re relishing in the nostalgia or seeing them for the first time, rally your squad and spend a chilly November evening indoors seeing The Adventures of Priscilla: Queen of the Desert (Nov 4th), Bound (Nov 11th) and The Birdcage (Nov 18th).

Showbiz spitfire, Paige Turner, journeyed up the Hudson River bringing her hit show, Joyride, through Marlboro's Benmarl Winery and the Rosendale Theatre.

A little bit of rain (ok, ok, a rather LOT of rain) didn't stop y'all from coming out for an indoor/outdoor evening of connecting with our community for the September 2021 installment of The Meet Market at Benmarl Winery. Local wines, wood-fired pizzas, chill beats and plenty of camaraderie made for an awesome night out - a huge thanks to everyone that joined!

All summer long, audiences in Provincetown have flocked to see this showbiz spitfire's quick wit and campy musical parodies. As she prepares to make her Hudson Valley debut this October 1st + 2nd, get to know the hilarious "ultimate Barbie of the drag world".

Plan an autumn adventure around apple picking, pumpkins, warm cider donuts and these LGBTQ+ happenings in Kingston, Albany, Rosendale, Highland and across Ulster County.
