Pride has arrived across the globe, and naturally, Brooklyn is ready to celebrate all month long.
If you’re marching in the NYC Pride parade on June 29, and looking for LGBTQIA+-friendly things to do before or after—or if you’re on the hunt for good Pride times on other dates during Pride Month, you’ll find some tempting ideas for where to eat, drink and dance the nights away in our guide to the best Brooklyn Pride events.
Arlo After Dark x We Are Eclipse on the Rooftop
Call it pre-gaming for Pride Weekend. On June 14, the rooftop of ART Williamsburg hosts Arlo After Dark x We Are Eclipse on the Rooftop, an afternoon and evening full of the best house music, incredible skyline views, and an upbeat atmosphere. This edition on the 14th is a Fifa Club World Cup Party sponsored by Michelob Ultra. Keep your eyes peeled for special guest artists. The fun kicks off at 3pm. Tickets available here.
HERITAGE: The Official NYC Pride Party
It’s the kick-off party for NYC Pride weekend, but also a tribute to the queer pioneers who fought for our rights. A star-studded lineup of artists including Giolì & Assia, Chris Luno, Dim Kelly, and Kim Anh will lead the celebrations at Brooklyn’s Duggal Greenhouse at the Brooklyn Navy Yard on June 27, from 3pm. Tickets are available here. A portion of ticket sales proceeds will be donated to the NYC Pride Association, Heritage of Pride.
LadyLand Festival
LadyLand Festival returns to Brooklyn during Pride, on June 27–28, 2025, bringing two days of music, fashion, and queer joy to the stage under the K Bridge Park. More than 40 artists will perform across three stages over the two days, with the biggest draws being headliners Cardi B and FKA Twigs. Tickets to the fest are available here.
Azure Day Parties at ART Williamsburg
Sunday fun day, indeed. Azure Day Parties are billed as “heaven on earth,” and the panoramic views from the rooftop of Arlo Williamsburg on a beautiful summer’s day back the claim up. Taking place from 3pm–10pm every Sunday, an Azure Day Party brings house music lovers together to dance and revel on the rooftop at ART Williamsburg. It’s where breathtaking views of the NYC skyline meet a top-tier lineup of world-class DJs. The parties have tiered pricing for entry and are rain-or-shine.
Alegria Pride 2025
Do you have what it takes to party for 24 hours? The 25th anniversary of this popular Pride event takes place over two days and two locations in Brooklyn—at the Avant Gardner on Sunday, June 29 from 4:30pm, and on to The Room @74 Wythe for VIVA PRIDE and SUNRISE on Monday, June 30.
FEVER Dreams Afterhours
It makes sense if most of your Pride plans are centered on the last weekend in June, when the official Pride NYC events take place. But have you considered what you’ll be doing on the Monday morning after the Pride march? Event producer Eric Michael has, and FEVER Dreams | Official NYC Pride Afterhours 2025 will see you dancing from the wee hours of Monday morning into the daylight and on into the afternoon (3am–2pm). In need of recovery instead? The event venue, Polygon, has an open-air patio where you can kick back and enjoy the sunshine. Tickets and more info are available here.
CircuiTea
Also taking place on Pride Monday, June 30, CircuiTea is the Official Circuit Tea Dance of NYC Pride 2025. Expect seven hours of nonstop Circuit beats and a massive play zone to close out your Pride weekend. DJs include David Alvhar, Jay Alexander, and Geovanni Pacheco. It all goes down at Club Lambda from 2pm on the 30th. Purchase tickets here.
Local Eats at Sungold
With all these parties on your Pride agenda, you’re going to want to refuel and enjoy a few drinks of choice along the way. Wherever you’re attending Brooklyn Pride events, add Arlo Williamsburg’s restaurant Sungold to your must-dine list. Mediterranean-style menus are available for breakfast, lunch, brunch, and dinner, and a must during Pride is Lucky Hour, Monday to Friday, 4pm–7pm, when you’ll enjoy specials on beer and wine, Spritzes and slices, and the infamous Brooklyn Happy Meal—an espresso martini, fries, and a fortune cookie (which may score you a stay at Arlo Williamsburg). Sungold also offers Get Lucky Hour, Fridays and Saturdays, from 1am–3am (i.e. perfect for post-Pride partying). This late-night happy hour includes free popcorn with drinks specials on Cosmos, Spritzes, Champagne, and Tecate.
More Brooklyn Bars & Bites
Other great spots to enjoy brunch, dinner, and cocktails as you hop between Pride events in Brooklyn include the Llama Inn, which serves a seasonal Pervuian menu and cheeky cocktails with names like the Llama Del Rey, Papi Don’t Preach, and the Paul Mezcal. Aurora is also a great option for Italian food and a robust wine program (along with craft beers, cocktails, and a full bar). The intimate garden is an ideal spot to enjoy a warm summer evening. If you’re not looking for a sit-down meal and just want a good bar to post up at, try one of the LGBTQ+-friendly bars in the neighborhood, such as BOYFRIEND, The Exley, or Macri Park.
As your NYC Pride itinerary starts coming together, with these and some of the many other awesome Brooklyn Pride events taking place this months, don’t forget to make sure you have somewhere to spend the night. Arlo Williamsburg is an always-welcoming home base in Brooklyn, and would make a stylish and laidback place to stay during Pride. Arlo Hotels lives the values of Pride year-round, and you can see the full lineup of Arlo Pride events across NYC here.
