Article excerpt:

This year introduces a new element: the Queer Families Festival on the Poughkeepsie side, running from 3 to 6pm in partnership with the Dutchess County Pride Center. The lineup leans intergenerational—Drag Story Time with Katarina Mirage, kids yoga from The Yoga House, art activities from The Art Effect, and an ice cream social designed less as spectacle than as connective tissue. It’s Pride reframed not only as celebration but as infrastructure—something that supports everyday life.
