Following the parade, the festivities will continue at Stereo Garden in Patchogue, where the PrideAPalooza event will take center stage.

James Diele-Stein, who owns Patch Print Ship & More in the village and co-chairs the newly formed Greater Patchogue Chamber of Commerce’s Pride committee, expressed his enthusiasm for the first-ever Pride parade in Patchogue.
“We realized we have such a big, big following here in Patchogue that we can do a parade, too,” Diele-Stein previously told Greater Long Island. “We have such a tight-knit community. The outpouring of love and support from people who are just stepping up to the plate are already making this an incredible experience for everybody.”
