33 Electrifying and Iconic Moments at the We Party Pride Festival

In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, Bette Midler & Cyndi Lauper premiered an electrifying and iconic live performance at the We Party PRIDE FESTIVAL presented by Absolut Vodka Main Event at Javits Center on Saturday, June 29 during WorldPride. Produced by Jake Resnicow, it was the biggest Pride charity event in history with over 10,000 guests and also featured an opening dance act by Beyonce's choreographer Chris Grant & special guest Brandy Norwood, visual performance by the theatrical phenomenon STOMP and spectacular performances by Conchita WURST, Billy Porter, and Zumanity Cirque du Soleil. All net proceeds will benefit prominent LGBTQ charities, including the Stonewall Gives Back Initiative and LIFEBeat, an organization that harnesses the power of the music and entertainment industry to advocate for sex health awareness and safety, providing those most at-risk with vital information about gender, sexuality, consent, prevention and support services.
