Entertainment + Community

Some fabulous picnicking music will be served up by Rosendale’s DJ Ali G as she spins vintage vinyl beats live from the gardens of Locust Grove. Once the sun goes down, come inside Locust Grove’s spectacular gallery and dance to the vinyl stylings of DjSquirrelsuit (who many of you may know from his Kingston-based Homo Disco parties). 

Working with our friends at Poughkeepsie Farm Project, we’ll have some family-friendly crafts and activities that kids of all ages will be able to make & take home.

Enjoy tons of live performances from local drag sensations Avi Munster, Pinky Socrates and Valkyrie Hail. Hudson’s own Trixie Starr will also be on hand with tons of prizes to be won by contestants playing in her rendition of the classic game show, Match Game.

We’ll also be joined by a variety of local and regional not-for-profit organizations and community groups who will be on hand to tell you more about what they do for our community and how you can get involved with their efforts.

Westchester Pride at Playland

Tuesday, September 6th, 2011

The Westchester Pride Coalition announced today that Westchester County’s third annual LGBT Pride celebration will take place at Rye Playland on Saturday, September 10, 2011 from 12:00 to 8:00 pm. This will be the third year for the county’s lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered residents to gather to enjoy a fun-filled, family-friendly day. Attendees are encouraged to wear red shirts to show unity and pride.

The event is organized by a coalition of thirteen not-for-profit agencies serving the LGBT community known as the Westchester Pride Coalition (WPC). More than 350 residents turned out for similar Pride events in 2009 and 2010. Guests do not have to identify as LGBT in order to attend; many “straight” allies are expected to attend as well.

The event is staged months after New York State passed a landmark marriage equality bill legalizing same-sex marriage. A celebration of the historic bill will be held at #:00 pm at the Pride Pavilion, headquarters within the Playland park for the festivities.

Westchester Pride at Playland also features vendors, a health fair, and live entertainment featuring Cheer NY, an LGBT cheerleading squad, the Rhythm Knights dance troupe, a drumming circle and music by Minx & Gracie.

The event is open to the public with admission to Playland. Discounted advance tickets can be purchased at www.westchesterpride.org.

Westchester County's First Gay Pride Event

Monday, August 31st, 2009

Westchester’s first LGBTQ Pride event is here…FINALLY!

Westchester County didn’t have a pride festival…that is until NOW! More to the point, we’re making up for lost time with an event like none other in our area!

Join ARCS, the rest of the Westchester Pride Coalition and hundreds of LGBTQ Westchester residents for a day of WESTCHESTER PRIDE at PLAYLAND, when your LGBT family, friends, allies, and kids of all ages come to celebrate. Better yet, your discounted admission gets you onto all the rides, all day, and all you want.

WEAR RED! We’re encouraging all attendees to wear something red so that we stand out loud and proud!

Your first stop will be the Pride Pavilion right inside Playland, where you can peruse the vendors selling LGBT paraphernalia, or take in some light entertainment, or meet and greet your friends and make new ones. Come and visit the LGBT organizations and groups that make up the Westchester Pride Coalition, the guys and gals who are making it all possible!

Then it’s time to hit those rides! A variety of mealtime and ride Meet-Ups are scheduled throughout the day, where we’ll set a time and ride for various components of our LGBT community, so you can meet new friends, just like you! Don’t forget, Playland has dozens of rides for smaller kids, so you gay moms and dads out there be sure to bring your children.

We’ll have entertainment throughout the day, including a special contest for the area’s greatest musical acts! Order your tickets now by visiting WestchesterPride.org. We’ll see you there!
