Happy Pride, Darlings! Somewhere between the parades, parties, and protests, we’ve rounded up a few events that deserve a spot on your calendar. No glitter cleanup required. Probably.

On Wednesday, Krystofer Maison will perform a special Pride show at Pangea and you can win tickets. Trained in classical and theatre traditions yet inspired by icons like Gaga, Bowie, and Elton John, Maison blends operatic drama with synth-pop shimmer across nearly three and a half octaves.*
