World Pride Closing Ceremony
Concept
June 2019 marked the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots- a momentous occasion to celebrate and honor the progress the LGBTQIA+ movement has made, and to raise awareness of the work still to be done. We partnered with NYC Pride to produce the World Pride Closing Ceremony in NYC’s iconic Times Square. This incredible celebration featured influential speakers and global musical talents who represent the LGBTQIA+ community. Thousands of people showed up for this final Pride celebration!
Our Role
For this massive anniversary, we had to bring a concert that rose to the occasion.

Permitting
Logistics.
We also secured all necessary permits, and liaised with all necessary departments and agencies such as the NYC Mayor’s office, NYPD, NYC DOT, DOB, and the Times Square Alliance.
“Pulling off a major concert in the middle of Times Square is no small feat and producing one to celebrate Pride’s Stonewall 50th anniversary was an honor and one of our proudest achievements in our company’s history.”
