Pride at the Seaport

Pride at the Seaport

Love is love. And love is all around the neighborhood this month, as we celebrate Pride Month. Here’s what’s on at the Seaport as we honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising, memorialize LGBTQIA+ friends we’ve lost, and above all, celebrate and welcome all members of the community into ours.

Drag Brunches at Malibu Farm

Every Saturday in June, local queens Essence and Castrata host a Pride-themed Queens of Malibu Drag Brunch at Malibu Farm on Pier 17. We’re talking big hair, big energy, and the big Cali flavors you love from the veggie-forward menu. There’s also a very extra dessert on the menu this month—the Pridae is comprised of traditional rainbow cookies, “Cherry-Berry” ice cream, fudge brownie chunks, chocolate swirls and chocolate crumble. The drag brunch revelry takes place from 1–3pm on June 4, 11, 18, and 25, and you can reserve a table here.

First up is the West Side Comedy Club Presents: Queer Comedy at 7pm (doors at 6:30pm), hosted by Caitlin Reese, with performances by Chanel Ali, Jay Jurden, Jaye McBride and Conor Janda. Tickets are $25 per person, with a two-drink minimum. Later that night, at 8:30pm is the Queen of the Greens: Drag Dance Party, where queens Essence and Castrata, along with DJ CLEF, will preside over an over-the-top drag performance and sunset dance party on The Lawns. Mini lawns can be reserved for $150, including a shareable cocktail and admission for up to eight people.

Both events are for guests ages 21+ and contain adult themes. A portion of proceeds will be donated to a local LGBTQIA+ charitable organization. Tickets are available here.

Walk With Me at Seaport Cinema

Stretch out and celebrate love at Seaport Cinema on The Rooftop at Pier 17 on Monday, June 27. Indie film Walk With Me was filmed in Brooklyn, and explores womanhood through the lens of a lesbian relationship. Shot on a micro-budget, the passion project went on to screen at festivals including Inside Out Film Festival and Cinequest Film Festival. A live musical performance by the movie’s cast will take place after the screening. Seaport Cinema is free to attend, but space is limited so arrive early to secure your spot. RSVP here.

Love Wins Every Thyme Cocktails at The Fulton

Mister Dips, home to griddle burgers and delectable dairy creations, will be celebrating Pride with their monthly cone for June: Pride N’ True. Comprised of vanilla custard, cake batter, and all the colors of the rainbow, there’s no better way to cool off and show your pride. Plus, proceeds from this cone will support The Trevor Project, so you can indulge in a dessert and do good all at once.
