Saturday, June 6, 2026, 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm

Free

Bring your dog to celebrate Pride with a fabulous afternoon of performances, activities, and community. And don’t miss the signature event – the “Walk of Pride” Catwalk Contest, in which you and your pup can strut down the catwalk and show off your unique style and pride in front of the judges, for a chance to win fun prizes! Festive attire is encouraged. Everyone is welcome to the celebration— big tails, small tails, wagging tails, and rainbow tails! Come celebrate love, togetherness, and our best furry friends. 

Event Schedule:

ON THE CATWALK (12:30 – 3PM): Kick off your Pride celebration in style with host Jaye McBride and DJ Softee. A regular at the Comedy Cellar, Jaye will guide you through the festivities of the day, while Softee provides a fun and exciting soundtrack. Pride comes to life onstage with engaging performances featuring Drag by Queen Essa Noche and King Mr Pleasure, plus performances by Broadway singer/actor, Emily Schultheis and our very own DJ Softee.

“Walk of Pride” Catwalk Contest (1:30PM): The runway rules as pups and people dress to impress and strut down the catwalk, for a chance to win prizes. Flamboyant accessories and colorful costumes are your ticket to the podium at this contest. No advanced registration necessary.

ACTIVITIES ON THE PLAZA (12-3PM):
  • Paw Print Parlor: Bring home a piece of pride, featuring your pup’s unique paw print! Organizers provide safe, non-toxic stamp pads, paper, and even a colorful magnetic frame for your finished craft! 
  • Tattoos Paw-lor: Need to amp up your costume? Organizers have got the temporary tattoos you never knew you needed to complete the look. Adorn yourself onsite or take some tats home to keep the party going.
  • Wags & Wisdom: Top trainer Eric Vissichelli is passing out his best advice one-on-one for you and your pup (3 min sessions). Visit his tent to get tips on training – from dog park etiquette to getting your bestie out of your bed – he knows the secret!
  • Community Service for The Ali Forney Center: Being proud includes giving back to your community. We’re packing hygiene kits for the youth of The Ali Forney Center. We’ll provide facewash, sunscreen, toothbrushes and other essentials – your job is to pack it with personal style using stickers, markers, and encouraging messages for their teens!
