The Guide to Pride
Hang on tight, we’ve got a blistering schedule of partying and celebrating lined up for you to celebrate Central PA Pride. There may not be a festival this year, but we’ve made sure you have plenty to do because after this past year, we have plenty to celebrate and be grateful for.
The Brownstone is kicking it into high gear with events, promotions, prizes, and one hell of a good time. There’s so much, that we would it be helpful if we created a handy Brownstone Guide to Pride for you. This is your one-stop place for everything going on at the Brownstone during Pride.
Guide to Pride Step 1:
The Brownstone’s 21st Anniversary Party
We’re kicking off Pride Week with a very special anniversary party: Our Own. We wanted to do something big last year for our 20th, but COVID intervened. So, we’re throwing a birthday bash. You’ve made the last two decades very special for us and we think that’s a great reason to celebrate. Karen and Dave will be on hand to celebrate as we party down with special guest DJ Brian K from the Woods campground.

It’s Pride Day!
BOOM! They day we’ve been waiting for. The Brownstone is opening early at 11 AM and turning it up to an 11 with an all day bash for Pride. Drag queens, DJs, prizes, and more! Pop in and out all day long as we celebrate Pride with a bang. Let’s just hope the wheels don’t fall off.
The bar opens at 11 AM. Ingenue will be here at noon and we’ll be partying and drawing our prize winners every hour on the hour. Join us for thumping music, our Pride Cocktail menu, tons of fun, prizes, and our usual chaos.
The party continues into the night. DJ Michael J will be in the house to shake it down at 8 PM as we party on for Pride into the wee hours.
