Pride 2023

it was chilly day for early June, but it didn't seem to matter. Hundreds of people lined up along the street, sparkling in hues of sunshine and rainbows.

This was a day for community to celebrate! It was Patchogue's very first PRIDE Parade.

Rainbow colored cars, unicorn floats, dazzling drag queens and even a decked out PRIDE Santa all made an appearance.

PCC showed up and showed off marching in a colorful plume of bubbles and tissue paper flowers. Onlookers cheered as we danced, shouted, and spread joy! I felt loved, we felt seen, we felt PROUD!
