How high do you want to go this Pride? How about all the way up to the top floor of New York’s Freedom Tower?
One Pride takes place Saturday, June 24 with dressed to impress gay men dancing the night away on the 102nd floor at One World Observatory.
“Our community has proven its resiliency by continuously rising above it all and thriving,” says event planner Brandon Voss. His company, Voss Events, has produced star-studded events featuring Lady Gaga and Cher and has a long history of delivering some of the best Pride events in NYC. Two years ago, Caitlyn Jenner made her first public appearance at one of his galas. Last year, Voss produced Bruta Pride, collaborating with the masterminds behind Fuerza Bruta for a unique 360 degree nightlife experience. He also produces the annual Drag Race pride show featuring the biggest names from RuPaul’s Emmy award winning show.
“When deciding this year’s theme, I thought why not observe our triumphs by celebrating together, as one, high in the sky of NYC’s Freedom Tower,” he continues.
Superstar DJ Hector Fonseca, a longtime New Yorker, will provide the evening’s beats. Canada’s electro-pop trio Dragonette will perform.
The visuals at One Pride promise to be extraordinary with unobstructed views of the New York skyline as well as living art installations by Darrell Thorn.
In addition to One Pride, Brandon Voss is producing the 7th annual Drag Race Pride Show on Friday, June 23 and a Sunday party at Dream Hotel with host Candis Cayne.
One Pride takes place Saturday, June 24 from 10pm to 2am at One World Observatory (285 Fulton Street, NYC). Dress code is festive yet formal. Tickets available at www.VossEvents.com.
