Botanical Ball in New Paltz will celebrate LGBTQ+ leadership

Let your petals down—FLOURISH: A Botanical Ball is blooming into the Hudson Valley as this year’s dazzling “gay-la” from the New Paltz Pride Coalition. Held at the scenic Liberty View Farm and hosted by The Wedding Foundry, this evening soirée celebrates LGBTQ+ leadership and resilience with flair. Guests can expect a cocktail hour, a farm-to-table dinner, entertainment from hosts Zach Bowman and Katarina Mirage, and a ceremony honoring changemakers like Trevor Project co-founder Celeste Lecesne and SUNY New Paltz President Dr. Darrell P. Wheeler. All proceeds benefit NPPC’s local programs and the future New Paltz Pride Center.
