Get ready to countdown to Pride Month with Smithsonian presents: Project Pride! This Sunday, 5/31 at 8pm on YouTube, hosted by Ari Shapiro.
We’ve put together the perfect pre-pride evening with an AMAZING lineup, and a FREE virtual concert and time capsule experience that you are not going to want to miss.
Step 1:
Alert the Group Chat and Set Up A Zoom/ Google Hangout / Kast
This is definitely not a drill, we’re bringing Dorian Electra, VINCINT, Big Freedia, Rufus Wainwright, and so many more straight into your home from 8pm – 10pm on Sunday evening. RSVP is not required but send everyone the link so they can stay in the loop/ get reminders! RSVP HERE
We’re using Google Hangouts for ours because lol I am not paying for zoom.
Step 2:
Turn On Some Great Tunes
We put together the ultimate Project Pride playlist featuring every performer! Check it out here. Currently really loving In Your Care – Bright Light Bright Light, Be Me – VINCINT, and If I Were You – CLAUD.
Step 3:
Put on Proper Project Pride Viewing Attire
We put together this moodboard with two of our most stylish performers – Nakhane and Dorian Electra to for some general ideas. We also recommend checking out the entire video for Nakhane’s New Brighton because it is visually stunning and full of inspiration.
Step 4:
Mix yourself a fun cocktail / mocktail/ pour yourself some coffee!
We suggest a classic that our friends at Nellie’s Sports Bar have brought to some of our events (and it was a featured cocktail at our 2019 Bentzen Ball Comedy Festival).
