Description
Join us on Sunday, June 2nd from NOON to 4 pm (rain date June 9th) as we celebrate LGBTQIA+ Pride in South Brooklyn. Pride Month honors the movement for LGBTQIA+ rights and celebrates queer culture.
Start Pride month in South Brooklyn at Owl’s Head Park. Our annual Pride picnic takes place on Pride Hill, overlooking scenic New York City Bay. Take the NYC Ferry to Pier 69 or the R train to Bay Ridge Ave.
Bring your beach blankets and your favorite South Brooklyn takeout, and enjoy a beautiful day outside with fellow GayRidge members, friends, and family. Enjoy live entertainment, field games, crafts, LGBTQIA+ resources, and much, much more.
This year’s entertainment is produced by The Pigeon Pack, a DIY music collective, and includes Zoe Briskey, The Canvas Collective, DJ Evangeline, Julia Her, JBLAZN, and Cheeks Voila!
