Celebrate Pride with us at the annual Hub City Pride Brunch! Hosted by Elizabeth New Jersey, the intimate brunch event takes place in our Studio space and includes a tasty buffet brunch by Mozzarella featuring an omelet station, smoked ham, french toast, a taco station, and more; an array of delicious pastries; exciting door prizes; beats by DJ Gloverrrboi (@djgloverrrboi); and prizes for Best Dressed (1st & 2nd place). The brunch will also feature a solo dance performance—an ode to the historical roots that have built the lesbian community—entitled “Crown of Violets” by Mason Gross School of the Arts graduate, Katie Bateman and performances by the QTPOC-led, genderqueer, DIY drag collective from New Brunswick, La Gatita! Performers include Acid Reflux (@missacidreflux), Mx Media (@thehumandiscoball), Tangelina Holee (@theetangeliaholee), Sourdoe (@sourdoestarter), Halebot3000 (@halebot3000), and our host Elizabeth New Jersey (@queenelizabethnewjersey)!Each brunch table will represent a color of the Pride flag and attendees will be encouraged to dress up from head to toe in the color of the table they were assigned. Tables will be set up with centerpieces, but guests are invited to bring decor in that color to add to the table (no glass or fragile items please). After purchasing, Brunch ticket purchasers will receive an email to sign up for their color choice.
About “Crown of Violets”
“Crowns of Violets” is an ode to the historical roots that have built the lesbian community. We would be nothing without our queer ancestors. Originally premiered at the Rutgers 2023 Senior Solo Concert, “crowns of violets” is a self-choreographed solo made in collaboration with visual artist Dina Kats. Initially performed alongside Dina painting live, this solo was inspired both by the original painting as well as research on lesbian history.
Hub City Pride Brunch community partners include New Brunswick Cultural Center and New Brunswick City Center.
