Get away, fall in love and be your true self. Do it all just a short drive or train ride from New York City, where Westchester County welcomes WorldPride travelers with a host of LGBTQ+-friendly hotels, restaurants and attractions for couples, singles and families. And, we’re home to many annual Pride celebrations of our own.
So go ahead and be free to explore, seek, unwind, celebrate, laugh, learn, dance, play, connect, rest, work, indulge, dine and just be in the beautiful Hudson Valley.
Themed 50 DOWN—FOREVER TO GO!, this celebration spans two days, beginning with Saturday’s Pride Festival on Main Street with celebrity entertainment, food, merchandise and activities, and culminating in a Pride After-Party Sunday evening.

The JBFC invites all to celebrate with this iconic documentary, considered a staple of queer cinema.
