GAY PRIDE SUFFOLK

Because as well as live music from 12 noon to 6pm (everything from Jazz to Folk To Rock To Pop), the event features a live audio link-up with crowds of LGBT New Yorkers gathered at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village. It is the 40th anniversary of the riots there, and we are going to share with them by all waving banners (make some!!) calling out greetings and singing together. History made. The event is free and also features food and other stalls and a community market, as well as Betty's Nightclub beer tent with DJ's and the Kiss FM Dance Drome. Bring your friends and family and celebrate together with New York.
