Juice BOX: Rochester Pride 2023 + 2 Year Anniversary

JUICE BOX is back for Rochester Pride 2023 and our 2nd Anniversary!!! We’re honored to jumpstart the weekend with a big birthday dance party on Friday, July 14th at Photo City Music Hall (543 Atlantic Avenue). Three talented local queer DJs will bring you the queer energy to keep you moving on the dance floor all night, with the special extended party time of 8PM-2AM.

We always aim for JUICE BOX to be a bright, bubbly, and inclusive space for all to enjoy, especially our queer community. Our Pride parties have been smash hits, filled with literal queer magic; we look forward to experiencing the vibes again, especially now that our LGBTQIA+ community is targeted with lies and hate. We need to show that our community is filled with nothing but love and joy.

Bring your friends and family, given or chosen. Dress up and be as vibrantly queer as you want. Or not! Whatever makes you happy, comfortable, confident, and full of pride. There is no wrong way to be part of the community; and there's especially no wrong way to be part of JUICE BOX. Be your authentic self and come share your love and energy with us. We need this queer joy and visibility more than ever!

We couldn’t have gotten here if it wasn’t for all the love, support, and feedback from every one of you: thank you to everyone that’s helped make JUICE BOX become what it is today. Happy Pride, Rochester, and see you on the dance floor! 🧃
