Where do queer people, community and soup all come together? Queer Soup Night, of course! The Brooklyn-born pop-up has been serving soup with a side of social justice since 2017, and now operates in 13 cities across the nation. To wrap up Pride month, the NYC-based chapter hosts an evening of music, food and fun.
For its fourth year in a row, Queer Soup Night heads to the Brooklyn Botanic Garden on June 25 for Pride Night. Starting at 6pm, the evening event features activations for all to enjoy. Want to learn more about the grounds? Join plant influencer and author Christopher Griffin of Plant Kween on a tour of the Aquatic House and Tropical Pavilion. Looking for a bit of family fun? Grab a seat at Drag Story Hour NYC with the kiddos or head to the Plant Family Collection lawn for a family-friendly activity led by the Discover Garden team. If dancing is more your speed, New York's all-women orchestra, The Lulada Club, will turn the vibe with live salsa music and dancing well into the evening. But when you need a break from all that spinning, sustenance can be found courtesy of chef Surbhi Sahni of Tagmo. Served on a first-come, first-served basis, chef Sahni will provide free bites to keep you fueled.
It all goes down at the Garden's Cherry Esplanade lawn. So bring a basket and a blanket and come celebrate! Tickets are free for members and $10 for non-members. Click here to get the access code for tickets.
