On June 22, 2019, revelers in fabulous finery celebrated with a cruise off Pier 40 in the West Village—part of 2019’s collection of WorldPride events. CosPlay & Pride was presented by NYC Pride along with FlameCon, the annual queer comic expo, and featured drag performances by the likes of Petra Fried and Aja (RuPaul’s Drag Race). While the entertainment might have been top-notch, the crowd was the real reason to go.
