Musical Performance By MISHTI with Alex Nolan and Allison Miller!

Led by her commanding vocals and wailing guitar riffs, local recording artist Mishti will be bringing her voluminous quaff to thrash to and fro at Westchester Pride, AKA the best day of the year.

Mishti has previously been seen accompanying legendary acts such as BETTY and Toshi Reagon but frequently blesses Queer stages everywhere to play recognizable favorites like you've never heard them before, along with her own original music whenever possible.

For this special performance, Mishti will be accompanied by Alex Nolan on guitar (Cyndi Lauper, “MJ the Musical”), and Allison Miller on drums/percussion (Brandi Carlisle, Ani DiFranco).

Nolan has been the mastermind behind the production on Mishti's original music while Miller is sure to infuse her signature jazz-composer vibes into the groove. One thing is for sure, you can relish in your sense of relief that there will be no roof over your head for this performance, as it would clearly be eradicated by these three crossing sonic proton beams on the same stage.

Pet Parade RETURNS!

The Pet Parade is a crowd favorite and it's back. Do you have a special one in your life who looks fabulous in Pride gear while moving down the pet runway!? You can bring any pet you like--so long as it's well-behaved, legal to own in New York State, and conditioned to be around people. Enter them into the contest which is FREE and win prizes: 1st prize $100 gift card, 2nd: $50 giftcard and 3rd: $25 giftcard!

Westchester Pride Celebrates Local Talent | Musical Performance by I.Den.t.T

Award winning Chinese-American Queer activist turned performer, I.Den.t.T (he/they) appeared a year ago releasing three tracks back to back and performed at various pride events throughout the summer continuing their vocation of making more queer-affirming spaces. The single, “Queerphoria Part 1” gained a lot of attention with a message of spreading, finding, and cultivating queer joy.

Just in time for Pride, I.Den.t.T is releasing “Queerphoria Part 2.” Staying vigilant as well as finding queer joy is the powerful message in the updated remix set to launch next Friday, May 19th. With added lyrics, a catchy baseline, and the new production team with Mason and Evan, this dance song is an energetic and fun track that address attacks on queer culture and people.

Find I.Den.t.T this summer spreading queer joy while performing at various Pride events in the NY area. Visit their website to learn more.
