Pride in July Returns to Barton Orchards!
We are excited to bring Pride in July back for the fourth year! We'll have a variety of entertainment celebrating inclusion in the Hudson Valley, raising awareness and support for the Dutchess County Pride Center and other Local LGBTQ+ groups.
What to Expect
Don't miss live performances featuring stars from Ru Paul's Drag Race in our brand new, enormous, 14,000 square-foot event space, "The Sound Garden". The 2024 line-up is full of amazing entertainment, including Loosey LaDuca and Jan Sport from Ru Paul's Drag Race! The multi-talented, super-creative Andrew Barret Cox returns! Who could forget his fabulous split down the Slip n' Slide at the second Pride in July?? CT's Premier Theater Queen Summer Orlando returns as a true Pride in July veteran!
The Amateur Drag Contest returns! Enter for your chance to win $1,000 in prizes! Think you've got what it takes to win our Pride in July Amateur Drag Contest, hosted by Summer? Winners of the elimination rounds will have a chance to perform in front of an all-star panel of judges in our brand new event space called “The Sound Garden”! Registration is limited to the first 30 participants on a first come first serve basis. Registration opens at the Entrance Stage starting at 4:00 sharp. Please bring a clearly labeled flash drive with two song options, up to two minutes for each song. Imagine performing on a big stage in front of RuPaul's Drag Race Queens?! Good luck!
But wait, there's more!
The "Hey Girl, Hay Ride", the Slip n' Slide, Mechanical Bull and Foam Party are back this year! Be sure to take a pic with the Mermaids and Stormtroopers and don't forget to visit the baby goats too!
