The North Jersey Pride Festival

Now in its fourth year, the North Jersey Pride Festival has something for everyone. Our unique \"Built for Grownups, Safe for Kids\" family-friendly event in Maplewood\'s Memorial Park Amphitheater brings together LGBTQ people and straight allies from all over the Garden State to celebrate diversity and promote equality. This year will be a joyous elaboration of our marriage equality win and we expect more than 5,000 attendees to join us. Come with a blanket or some beach chairs and spread out on the lawn. Enjoy the fabulous show—and worry not about little ones, because ALL our entertainment is kid-proof. • This year\'s extraordinary talent lineup includes: Emcee Scott Nevins (Bravo\'s The People\'s Couch), Kinsey Sicks, America\'s favorite Dragapella group; Lavender Light Gospel Choir; our own Bea Miller (X-Factor); Antigone Rising; De\'Borah Garner (The Voice); Paper Mill Chorus; Front & Center\'s kids choir with a \"Frozen\" medley; Mood Ring and The Greys. • Keep your kids busy in our huge Rainbow Kids Zone, with inflatables, arts & crafts, games, face painting and live interactive kids stage with shows every hour on the hour! • Browse the work of local artisans, shop our merchant vendors and sample fare from our famous Five-Star Food Court, which showcases the best of our local eateries, and learn more about the wonderful LGBTQ and ally nonprofits that are doing important work in the community. Admission is FREE and all are welcome! It’s going to be an amazing day!
