Asbury Park Pride 2027

Asbury Park Pride brings over 50,000 people to the New Jersey shore each June. It's one of the East Coast’s biggest Pride festivals, and one of the most visually distinctive: all of it happens on the boardwalk and beach.

The early-20th-century Convention Hall and Paramount Theatre stand behind the stages, the Atlantic Ocean behind them. Asbury Park's queer community shaped the city, and the city, in turn, shaped its Pride. That, plus an easy 90-minute train ride from New York Penn Station, makes this festival unlike any other on the East Coast.

Expect multiple stages with performers, a beach party, and programming from community organizations. The entire city prepares for this weekend all year. Hotel rooms in Asbury Park sell out months ahead.
