Planting Fields Foundation is thrilled to announce our second annual Planting Pride Festival taking place on Saturday, June 24th! Planting Pride features a high-energy extravaganza filled with live music, special guests, local vendor support, behind the scenes access to historic spaces, a panel discussion and much more set amidst the beauty of Planting Fields in early summer. This year’s panel topic, “Gay through the Ages”, presents speakers across generations discussing their experience growing up gay, followed by a moderated Q+A session.
Coe Hall will be open all day for free tours of our Decisive Moments exhibition, which highlights two pioneering queer photographers who were instrumental in documenting Planting Fields a century ago. Join us in celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community and its past, present, and future at Planting Fields. Planting Pride is made possible by generous funding and support from the New York State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation Bureau of Historic Sites and Heritage Farm and Gardens.
For more information or questions about the event please contact Katie Walsh, Community Engagement Manager at kwalsh@plantingfields.org or 516-922-8680.
