Pine Hill Pride 2026: The Hills Are Alive

Last year, Pine Hill Pride showed up, showed off, and absolutely blew the roof off our tiny mountain town. The love was loud, and the joy was real,

all thanks to you.

So naturally, for 2026, we're turning it up.

More music. More sparkle. More drag. Bigger moments. Bolder looks. And a little extra glam!

Pine Hill Pride 2026 is taking everything you loved from last year and turning the shine all the way up.

Details are warming up backstage. You’ll want eyes on this, so stay tuned, so much more to come!

Pine Hill Pride is made possible by the generosity of people who care deeply about this community.

Donations allow us to create a Pride celebration filled with joy, color, and connection. If you’re able to give, thank you. And if you’re interested in volunteering your time, there’s always room for more helping hands.

As we close the door on the first official Pine Hill PRIDE, it gives us a chance to reflect on what our small-but-mighty hamlet was able to accomplish.

It was a wonderful day full of fun, laughter, and LOVE, and for that we say thank you.

Thank you to all of our gracious sponsors for donating their time and money to help make this day possible.

Thank you to the bands, DJs, author, and Dolly impersonator who traveled far and wide to entertain you.

Thank you to the food/drink/service booths/vendors that fed, hydrated, and educated us.

Thank you to the Town of Shandaken for working with us on last minute permits and security.

Thank you to our volunteers for keeping us on time and on track.

Thank you to the businesses and organizations that promoted us.

And we truly want to thank all of you from the bottom of our hearts for being a part of Pine Hill history and making the day so special.

While we stand as bricks of defiance in these troubling times that threaten our rights and existence, we understand that it takes mortar to build something strong. You, friends, are that mortar.

We're going to take some time to rest and reflect, but we'll be back again next year, bigger and better than ever.

Sincerely,
Your Pine Hill PRIDE committee

If you've driven up 28 then you've definitely seen the Boyer Sign Company's work.

Boyer Sign Company is owned and operated by artist and craftsman Kurt Boyer in the heart of the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York. Kurt carved his first sign when he was 7 years old under the watchful eye of his father, designer and woodworker Hal Boyer. At 27 he joined his sister Kate Boyer at AE Advertising where he learned the fundamentals of graphic design and sign painting, pre-computers. Taken with signmaking, he struck out on his own creating Eagle Signs where he continued to hone his skills for many years until a brief hiatus while he and his wife Cynnie owned and operated the Black Bear Hollow Cafe in Phoenicia, New York.

Thank you!

Did you know that Dolly Parton's @imaginationlibrary is a book gifting program that sends free, high-quality books to children from birth to age five, regardless of their family's income. The program aims to inspire a love of reading by providing a monthly book to registered children at no cost to their families.

Each month, a new, age-appropriate book is mailed to registered children, addressed to them personally.

The program is free for families, with Dolly Parton and local partners funding the books, postage, and administrative costs.

Not bad for a "Backwoods Barbie," right?

We love @dollyparton

Be sure to bring the kids out to our PRIDE event where we'll have our very on "Dolly for the Day" read to them during Drag Queen Story Time.

Shout out to one of our Pine Hill Pride event sponsors: @phoeniciadiner

Built in 1962 and moved to the Catskills in the early 80s, the Phoenicia Diner has a long history of serving customers who are drawn to the Catskills' natural beauty. The prior owners nurtured the Diner and its customers for nearly 30 years. Current owner, Mike Cioffi, continues that tradition by offering residents, weekenders and visitors fresh food sourced from Catskills and Hudson Valley farms when available. Our menu is carefully crafted to offer traditional diner favorites, sometimes with a modern twist, using seasonal and local fresh ingredients.

Big News!

Introducing our #PineHillPride Dolly for the day, the legendary @theekangaroo

Kanga Roo is originally from Dayton, Oregon. Growing up there with her family on her grandpa's horse farm manifested her desire to become a drag artist in NYC, and Dolly Parton happened to be her stepping stone into the world of impersonation. Kanga loves to express joy and celebrate this icon who has been a true hero to all! This year, more than ever, will be a positive and inspiring celebration to remember!

"Pride is about uplifting voices that aren’t always heard, don’t you think Dolly would agree? See y'all there!"

Pine Hill Pride: Saturday, July 12th. 12-6pm.
