Pridefest — featuring Princess Nokia and Spice Girl Melanie C — is tomorrow (Sunday!) on 4th Avenue



Pridefest takes place tomorrow (Sunday, June 30) — in a new location — on Fourth Avenue between Union Square and Astor Place.

There's a lot of fest-ing going on from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.: KidFest, FoodFest (with some local restaurants taking part) and StageFest, where LGBTQ advocate Princess Nokia is headlining. Also set to perform are Spice Girl Melanie C aka Sporty Spice (joining forces with U.K. queer nightlife collective Sink the Pink), Lauren Jauregui and The Veronicas. The stage is between Ninth Street and 10th Street. (No word on exact set times.)
