In Bayonne, the rainbow stripes of the LGBTQ+ Pride flag were raised above City Hall on June 7 to celebrate Pride Month.
Pride Month is celebrated each year in June, commemorating the anniversary of the Stonewall riots in 1969, which kick-started the movement for LGBTQ+ equality.
However, Bayonne typically celebrates LGBTQ+ Pride in August, in conjunction with Jersey City’s Pride Festival as well as other events in Hoboken and across Hudson County.
Last year, city was looking into holding its annual ceremonial raising of the Pride flag in August, but did not due to pandemic complications. Since 2018, the city has held a Pride flag raising at City Hall in conjunction with the Hudson Pride Center.

In addition, there will be an open-air patio where people passing can “grab and go” their orders. It will be completed by September 2022 and cost about $12 million.
“This iconic space, while it’s no longer the Casino in the Park, brings back a sense of memory and normalcy to us here,” DeGise noted at the press event this afternoon.
