Queer HIGHstory Walk
Queer Highstory Walk through the West Village
Presented by FLAMER × Buds on the Move × Micah Eames
June is loud, colorful, and a little bit electric and we're taking it to the streets!
Join us for a Pride walk through the West Village, one of NYC's most historically rich and queer-rooted neighborhoods. Every block has a story. Micah Eames, our special co-host, will be your guide through the lore — Stonewall roots, legendary figures, hidden corners, and maybe you will learn a new thing or two about yourself!
We'll meet at The Flowery West Village, mingle, explore the shop, and fuel up before heading out into the neighborhood. Educational, celebratory, and a little bit feral.
Whether you're part of the community, an ally, or just someone who loves a good story and a good walk, all are welcome here. Come solo, come with your people, come exactly as you are.
Lace up, light up, let's celebrate.
