New Hope Celebrates
May 19-21, 2023

New Hope, the artist-filled village along the picturesque banks of the Delaware River, about an hour and a half from New York City celebrates its LGBT community with a weekend-long Pride festival. New Hope Celebrates biggest event is the annual pride parade, which will take place on May 21. The colorful celebration, featuring bands, floats and local organizations, kicks off in Lambertville, NJ — right across the river. While you’re in town pop in and out of the funky shops, galleries restaurants, bars and cafes along the town’s lively Main Street. Just be warned this is not the typical take-your-shirt-off-and-sport-enough-glitter-to-make-Ke$ha-blush Pride. Not that there is anything wrong with that.
