Boston Pride guide: Weekend edition

Boston PrideLast week I wrote a post about all the programs and events that have caught my eye for Boston Pride 2014.  With Pride celebrations final weekend nearly upon us, I thought I’d share some of the events / programs that get a thumbs up from me.

Red Sox FanThursday, June 12th:  Pride Night at Fenway Park or Cathedral Station Grand Opening

If you have not purchased tickets for Pride Night at Fenway Park a great Plan B is to swing by Cathedral Station (formerly Red Fez) on their opening night. This is Boston’s newest gay sports bar. Cathedral Station has free parking, affordable drinks and a game room with plenty of TVs to cheer on the Red Sox.

 

Fur and GoldFriday, June 13th: Fur & Gold Pride Edition at The Alley

I’ll confess I’m not a dancer so I’m not sure if I’ll attend but this can be a fun party with good music, affordable drinks and no attitude.  This is not an official Pride event so for details check out the Fur and Gold Facebook Page.

 

Friday, June dBar Stoplight Parrty13th: Stoplight Party at dBar in Dorchester

If Fur & Gold isn’t your scene, dBar will be full of twinks & 20-somethings.  Party Details Here

 

Chandler Street Block PartySaturday, June 14th:  Boston Pride Parade, Chandler Street Block Party and House of Blues Main Event with DJ Abel

The Boston Pride parade starts one hour earlier this year at 11AM and is free and open to the public.  Check out the annual Chandler Street Block Party from 1:30 – 7 PM ($15 – proceeds go to The AIDS Action).

 

House of Blues Boston Pride 2014

Saturday, June 14th:  House of Blues: Epic Saturday w/ DJ Abel and Paradise Pride Bash

Should you have the energy, the largest party in town will be at Boston’s House of Blues, where DJ Abel will whip everyone into a frenzy or if HOB isn’t your scene but you want to dance check out Paradise in Cambridge but get there early because the line to get into both places will be ridiculous.

 

gay pride boston, back bay block partySunday, June 15th: Back Bay Block Party 12PM – 8PM

This is possibly the best block party Boston hosts all year and is worth attending. Enter on the corner of Stuart and Berkeley Street. A $15 donation is requested with all proceeds going to the Boston Pride Committee.
