We're officially one week into Pride Month, and there is still so much to do. Be sure to check our Pride Guide regularly because we're adding new events all month long. We know everyone was bummed when the Pride Parade got rained out this weekend (it literally rained on our parade), but the good news is it's been rescheduled. We'll keep you posted on all the latest updates.

While you're filling up your Pride calendar, why not add a little drag excellence to your future plans? ✨ We're giving one lucky winner VIP Meet & Greet passes plus show tickets for two to RuPaul's Drag Race Werq The World Tour at 713 Music Hall. Consider this your chance to meet your favorite queens and start manifesting your winner era.
