Letting Our Pride Flag Fly – Pride 2024
![Image](https://greatperformances.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Great-Performances_Catering-Event_Pride_Rockefeller-University_Guests-6.webp)
We had an especially colorful and delicious pride this year! Although we celebrate diversity throughout the year, we pull out the stops during the months honoring the various groups.
We kicked off Pride with special request from our team at Trinity, which became the décor across our venues during Pride. Our celebrations included several events across New York including First Saturday at Brooklyn Museum, events at Asia Society, and at Rockefeller University.
Decorating for Pride
by Alexander Belmont, Venue Merchandising Manager
From free gender affirming haircuts for local high school students, to hosting a queer prom each year, Kenya came to me with the desire for Trinity Cafe’s seasonal decor to reflect the dedication Trinity has towards the LGBTQ+ community. While putting up the window decor, a repurpose of photo booth props and a large vintage hued rainbow garland, the installation enticed pedestrians to walk up to the window and peek through to discover what was inside a building they had glazed over times before. The rainbow of colors summer succulents come in presented a neat opportunity to create small floral designs representing each individual pride flag to fully encompass inclusivity. As a member of the LGBTQ+ community, I am proud to be able to work with an organization that is just as excited for pride as I am.
