In 2018, Pride event sponsors, brands, and organizations took the opportunity to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community through engaging experiences held across the United States. From flashy floats and rainbow floral walls to voguing competitions and glittery makeovers, brands including MAC Cosmetics, T-Mobile, Postmates, VH1, Marriott, and more celebrated Pride. NYC Pride’s free event for LGBTQIA+ and ally teens took place at 14th Street Park. The event held a runway show on a wooden, rainbow-painted stage that featured the red bullseye of sponsor Target. The stage was designed by Adam Koch Associates and Design Foundry.
