Announcing Morris County PRIDE Drive-In Drag Show
MORRIS COUNTY, NJ. –– Morris County PRIDE presents Morris County’s first ever Drive-In Drag Show on Saturday, September 12, 2020 at 8pm. The event, facilitated by Boxcar, will take place in Madison, NJ and allow for a socially-distanced night of pride, performance, education, and community building. Tickets will go on sale in mid-August.
Morris County PRIDE was planned in an an effort to help combat stigma and discrimination faced by the LGBTQ+ community in the county. While the original plan for 2020 included an all-day festival, the pandemic forced organizers to pivot this summer. “It is important in these times to continue to bring the community together responsibly,” says lead organizer Cara
Parmigiani of Morris Plains. Instead, the all-volunteer committee started thinking up ways to capture the spirit of PRIDE in a safe, socially-distanced way.
The Drive-In Drag Show will feature a line-up of talent that will dazzle the audience and get everyone dancing in their cars. To make things even more festive, attendees will be encouraged to decorate their cars to win a unique, one-of-a-kind, drag-themed trophy being created exclusively for the event.
Each car will also leave with a goody bag full of fun swag and educational material provided by the shows sponsors.
While the list of community groups and sponsors supporting Morris County PRIDE continues to grow, the current roster includes EDGE NJ, the Law Office of Cara A. Parmigiani, LLC, Electric Love Studios, Moms Demand Action, Gay Activist Alliance of Morris County, TriVersity Center for Gender and Sexual Diversity, and Argentino Fiore Law & Advocacy, LLC.
Tickets for the Morris County PRIDE Drive-In Drag Show will go on sale in mid-August.
“We’re expecting them to go fast,” says Sean Dorsa of EDGE NJ, one of PRIDE’s lead organizers. To make sure you get a coveted ticket, be sure to follow Morris County PRIDE on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/MCPRIDE2020/.
