Sea Cliff residents burst with color and pride at the Love Your Neighbor Project’s second annual North
Shore Pride Stride.
The inspiration for the parade came last year after there were a number of reports in the village where
people's pride lawn signs were being destroyed in front of their house, according to Love Your Neighbor
Project's Chief Neighbor Jaime Teich.
“The incidents were rising at home, that's what we responded to,” she said. “That's why we continue to put
this event on, because it's still happening.”
Nearly 400 people, including elected officials, civic leaders, and community leaders, attended the event on June 1.
In addition, several local businesses displayed Pride decals and flags provided by the charity.
The parade started with a community gathering in Clifton Park, then went down Sea Cliff Avenue to the Village Green, a popular open space within the village.
Teich, along with LYNP Strategic Neighbor Jennifer DeSane, Village Trustee Mark Sobel, and Sea Cliff residents Brylee Kaye, Genevieve Hudin, Peter Primont, and Bruce Castellano all spoke about the importance of love, community, and
solidarity for the LGBTQ+ community at the Village Green.
The celebration continued at Still Partners, a local gastropub, with Sea Cliff disc jockey Sean Valentine providing music throughout.
