NYC Pride Rooftop Afterparty | SKAЗKA: Freedom Is Not a Fairy Tale

Celebrate NYC Pride with drag, DJs, Slavic performers, queer joy, and a fundraiser supporting LGBTQ political prisoners in Midtown Manhattan

Join us for one of NYC Pride Sunday's most unique celebrations.

SKAЗKA returns for a special Pride rooftop edition at The Ainsworth Midtown on Pride Sunday June 28th, 2026 right after NYC Pride March. We will be bringing together LGBTQ immigrants, allies, artists, performers, and community members for an unforgettable afternoon of music, drag, dancing, and solidarity.

Featuring drag queens, live performances, DJs, special guests, and artists from New York, Miami, Easterm Europe and beyond.

Conviniently located on 33rd and Park Avenue in the heart of Manhattan's Midtown only couple of blocks away from where NYC Pride Parade takes place- The Ainsworth Midtown also provides a spacious rooftop that serves food, drinks and TV screens showcasing sports. Because NYC Summer 2026 is KNICKS IN 5 and World Cup all at the same time!

A portion of ticket proceeds and alchohol slaes will support LGBTQ political prisoners and queer refugees from Russia and Eastern Europe through our partnership with the Russian Refugee Foundation.

Whether you're marching in Pride, visiting New York for the weekend, or simply looking for a vibrant community-centered celebration, SKAЗKA welcomes you.

Pride is protest.
Pride is joy.
Pride is community.
Pride is freedom.

Freedom Is Not a Fairy Tale.
