EDGE New York City

On Sunday, August 15, Bronx Pride took place in Crotona Park. Over 2,000 attendees showed visibility in the Bronx, honored NYC Council Speaker Christine Quinn, Bronx Borough President Ruben Diaz, Jr. and NYS Senator Ruth Hassell-Thompson and were treated to a four hour entertainment program featuring RuPaul’s Drag Race’s Sahara Davenport and legendary freestyle artist Safire. Over 20 community based organizations came out to table and increase visibility of the LGBTQ populations in the Bronx.

Matinée Group, the award-winning, event-producing team behind the World’s Biggest Party brought their signature light and sound spectacular to Governors Island, complete with superstar DJs, sexy go-go dancers, death-defying aerialists, and surreal performers, all with the skyline of downtown Manhattan as backdrop.

We just couldn’t get enough of Matinee party so we decided to bring you more photos.
