NYC Pride is online this year, but don’t worry, there’s still plenty of in-person events to attend in New York City. There are tea parties, brunches, and even a party cruise. Here’s some of the most fun ways to show your Pride this June.
Vaxxed Pride at The Stonewall Inn
The Stonewall Inn, the home of the gay pride movement, has a packed schedule this month. Its biggest event, the Safe Spaces Concert, was online on June 1. Fortunately, they also have an in-person event for people who are fully vaccinated, aptly dubbed the Vaxxed Pride Party. The party is at the Stonewall Inn’s second floor on June 25 for $15 cash at the door, no reservations needed. It goes from 9 a.m. to 4 a.m. and will feature DJ Kim Dazy.
