During Pride Month there is so much to do! Engage with two interactive installations that encourage visitors to reflect on diversity and empower each other. Artist Matthew Hoffman’s installation, aptly called “You Are Beautiful,” invites visitors to spread positive affirmations and love to the community. Within Portside, there is also a seated installation titled, Reflections on Pride which is a vibrant homage to the LGBTQ+ community during Pride month.
After all the wonderful art, get up and dance with your beautiful self on June 12th and 26th as part of BFPL’s summer DJ series. You can catch DJ Rekha, Ty Sunderland, and DJ Ushka’s cutting-edge music to celebrate Pride Month. View the full schedule here. There will also be a cocktail available for purchase at the Tartinery Shack with proceeds from the cocktail benefiting The NEW Pride Agenda, which aims to target state legislature initiatives to build impacting support for LGBTQ+ issues and policies.
June is also pickleball season at BFPL! Grab a friend and show off your skills right on the waterfront. Reservations are encouraged and are available on Brookfield’s website here!
