111 Photos Show Record Attendance for Hudson Valley Pride

To honor and celebrate Pride Month, the Hudson Valley LGBTQ Community Center held the 2018 Pride March & Festival on Sunday June 3, in New Paltz, NY, and both events experienced record attendance thanks to all the volunteers and participants.

In February of 2004 the same-sex weddings officiated by then New Paltz mayor Jason West pushed the LGBT community to the forefront in New York and across the nation. Those weddings led to the first New Paltz Pride March & Festival held in June 2005, which in turn led to the formation of The Center. The Pride March & Festival has continued to grow ever since!
