Back for its 9th year, the Queen City Pride BYO summer community picnic starts at 5pm and promises a memorable family-friendly afternoon packed with live music, drag performances, games and dancing. What are you waiting for? Now is the time to start planning for the most fabulous picnic of the summer!
BYO Picnic
Ready your favorite blankets and pack up your basket for the most fabulous picnic of the summer. Creativity, uniqueness, noms and tastiness are all encouraged as you set up the ultimate al fresco spread. As always this event is 100% BYO. We will not have a bar or food vendors set up on site, so be sure to pack everything you’d like to enjoy. Alcoholic beverages are permitted (and encouraged) for those 21 and over. Small, tabletop propane barbecues and sterno warmers are permitted, otherwise no open flames, please.
The entire family is invited to join, please just keep any dogs on leashes and be a considerate neighbor and clean up after your pet.
Activites, Drag Show + Dance Party
More details will be announced as we get closer to Pride season.
Cover for the Queen City Pride Picnic is $10 person (kids under 14 are free).

SUNY New Paltz’ Queens & Kings of New Paltz, an on-campus drag club, presents the 2nd Annual “Testing All Queens!” drag show fundraiser on Saturday, December 3rd from 6:00 to 9:00 pm in the Student Union Building. This outrageously fun holiday-themed event features performances by future drag all-stars, dinner by Pasquale’s, DJ music by Dangerboy, and a guest speaker from Love Heals. Tickets are $5 for students and $10 for non-students, all to benefit HVCS. Our Project INFORM team will be on hand with sexual health info, condoms, lube and other goodies, too.
Last year’s event was a ton of fun, and we were so inspired by these talented drag kings and queens that we wound up hiring them for our other drag events later in the year! This is one event you don’t want to miss!
Plus: there’s a just-added afterparty! Village Pizza hosts the fun with drink and food specials and another surprise drag show at midnight.
