Rockefeller Center Celebrates Pride

The Pride Month celebration has become a staple of Rockefeller Center’s programming, playing a key role in ensuring there’s an inclusive and diverse space for all in the heart of Midtown. Throughout the month of June, our campus will be awash in signs and symbols of Pride with rainbow pathways, hundreds of Pride flags surrounding The Rink, and vinyl decals decorating its spaces. Select retailers will announce limited-edition offerings, discounts, and activations for the month-long celebration.

Included in our Pride celebration is our Love Above All Ball, making its long-awaited return to Rainbow Room. This new tradition began in 2019 and this year the event will feature headline performances from Oliver Sim of The xx, singer and actor Alex Newell, alongside music from the evening’s Emcee, DJ and New York City nightlife staple Honey Davenport, all benefiting Broadway Cares/Equity FightsAIDS.
