As part of Pride weekend at the Seaport Museum, the LGBTQ+ sailing club, Knickerbocker Sailing Association‘s Rainbows on the Hudson boat parade sails by Pier 16. The fleet of 30 vessels features sails designed by Gilbert Baker, who created the first Pride flag.

Take advantage of free general admission to the museum throughout the day, which allows you to explore the exhibitions in the introduction galleries at 12 Fulton Street and two historic ships moored at Pier 16. The tall ship Wavertree boasts colorful Pride decorations and offers fun lawn games on the main deck. There is a tarot card reader in the crew’s quarters from 1-3pm.

Advance registration for free general admission to the museum is suggested for activities on Wavertree, but walk-ups will be accommodated as possible and drop-ins are welcome.

You can be part of the parade on the 1885 schooner Pioneer.
