SOPAC's LGBTQ+ Pride Weekend

“We deserve to experience love fully, equally, without shame, and without compromise.” — Elliot Page

SOPAC is proud to partner with North Jersey Pride for SOPAC’s inaugural LGBTQ+ Pride weekend!

This weekend is a celebration of the robust, passionate, and vibrant LGBTQ+ community, in and around SOMA. SOPAC is proud to present a weekend of programing exclusively highlighting LGBTQ+ artists.

SOPAC’s 2023 LGBTQ+ Pride Weekend kicks off with South Orange native, and Tik Tok comic sensation, Jessica Kirson on Friday, June 9. She is then followed by R&B artist AKENYA with an exclusive VIP post show after party on Saturday, June 10. The weekend ends with SOPAC’s first ever Tony Awards Viewing party, on the SOPAC Mainstage, and hosted by a soon to be announced Broadway performer (stay tuned!).

Bust out your rainbow gear, bring your friends, and celebrate living your best, most authentic life at SOPAC!
