Summary
Sunday’s Pride Parade will cap a week of New York City celebrations that already featured Jojo’s bar-top set, a surprise wedding and a ballroom runway contest.
Diesel and Tinder’s party at BOOM brought Jojo to perform “Leave (Get Out)” and “Too Little Too Late,” with proceeds tied to a Pride capsule benefiting Outright International.
Smirnoff’s ballroom event swapped last year’s vogue battle for a runway face-off, where Drake Mr. 7K Garçon won a trip to Chicago Pride and Durand Bernarr later delivered a 30-minute mini-concert.
Fiametta x Unemployed’s June 3 dinner doubled as a wedding for Yesim Ak and Teresa Dilger and showcased a 10-necklace Pride collection sourced from female miners in Tanzania and Kenya.
The parade will honor Dominique Jackson, Peppermint, Bernie Wagenblast, Bowen Yang and Gays Against Guns as grand marshals, underscoring New York’s upbeat Pride backdrop despite political strains in Washington.
