As the official NYC Pride Party, this event is more than a kick-off party—it’s a tribute to the queer pioneers who fought for our right to love and be loud (and fabulous). We are doing it for the dancers, dreamers, and lovers. And we promise you a party to remember. Proceeds support the important work of NYC Pride.

Dance magic by a gender rainbow of Go-Gos and Vogue-Gos, vocalists that will blow your mind (Andrew Barret Cox), art, LED, and circus performers (Jacob McKee, Circular Movement), and a photo booth (and $1500.00 in prizes for the best body art sponsored by GO Magazine)! This is the LGBTQ+ party you have been waiting all year for and just like at all Hot Rabbit events, ALL GENDERS ARE WELCOME!
