Please save the date for the Hudson Valley Pride Coalition March and Festival: Sunday, June 5 in New Paltz. The march will step-off at 12 p.m. at the NP Middle School, followed by a festival in Hasbrouck Park until 5 p.m.

This year, the event is being organized differently than in years past. The newly forming Hudson Valley Pride Coalition consists of various local organizations, community groups, government entities, elected officials, and individuals. As the Village of New Paltz Deputy Mayor who organized last year’s rag-tag grassroots “Pride in the Park” event, I am serving as this coalition’s point-person and invite one and all to come through. Our work has only just begun; we are only two meetings deep at the time of this writing. If you or your organization wants to join the coalition please fill out this form: bit.ly/HVPrideCoalitionMarchFestival.

Organizations, performers, businesses, and day-of volunteers who wish to be a part of the HV Pride Coalition March and Festival are asked to fill out the same form.

With LGBTQ+ rights under attack, and trans life in particular in imminent danger on the national level, it’s more imperative than ever we come together this Pride Month – what better place to do so than where same-sex marriage was first catapulted into the spotlight and history was made?

Mark your calendars, and join us in any capacity you can, on Sunday June 5 in New Paltz.
