Brooklyn Pride is celebrating 25 years this month with a number of festivities planned for annual Pride Week.

"Brooklyn Pride has shined. We very community oriented, we are very family oriented, and we stand out as being able to have a lot of fun but focusing on families and communities and local but we have made a difference," says Brooklyn Pride co-chair Mickey Heller. "25 years means a lot."

Pride Week, which starts June 7, will includes both in-person and virtual events.

Heller says the week will kick off at 5 p.m. with a rooftop party, a kickoff party on Atlantic Avenue.

On Tuesday, he says there will be a virtual panel which will discuss coping with mental health, stress, and anxiety in the wake of the pandemic.

"To be able to be consistent to continue to increase and be able to get better every year, we're thankful," Heller says, thanking the volunteers, vendors, everyone who supports Brooklyn Pride.
