About this Event
Join us for a Pride celebration on the High Line for the gworls, gays, and theys.
This year, Friends of the High Line is partnering with ZestyWorld—a Black and Brown-centered LGBTQ+ party collective—for a one-of-a-kind Pride experience. Taking over the covered passage on the High Line at 15th Street, this elevated gathering transforms the park into a high-energy celebration of music, movement, and connection for the full alphabet mafia and allies.
Rooted in the spirit of queer nightlife, ZestyWorld centers Black and Brown queer expression through dance, ballroom, and curated performance, bridging underground culture and community.
Come as you are. Be part of the moment. Ages 21+.
The event is rain or shine—the event space is fully covered.
Check in on the High Line at 15th Street and 10th Avenue. You can enter the High Line via the nearest stairs at 14th Street. The nearest elevator is also at 14th Street. Please visit https://www.thehighline.org/elevator-status to see the current status of elevators.
