The festivities continue at the legendary music venue in Asbury Park, NJ, when Dreamland Pride In Asbury Park with Purple Disco Machine, the Dresden-based billion-stream disco behemoth that creates an intoxicating mix of house, disco and funk, follows on Friday, May 31.

One dollar from every ticket sold to the Purple Disco Machine event on May 31 will support Garden State Equality, which for nearly 20 years has been at the forefront of the fight for LGBTQ+ rights and social justice in New Jersey. The organization has made significant strides in advancing the cause of equality, advocating for LGBTQ+ individuals, and working tirelessly to create a more inclusive and accepting society for all. “This sensational event brings together a diverse group of supporters, community leaders, and change-makers, all of whom share a common goal: to ensure that every LGBTQ+ individual is treated with dignity, respect, and love,” said Garden State Equality Executive Director Christian Fuscarino.
