The Liberty Hotel's Pride Ambassadors Dominic L’Heureux and Derek Zagami
Pride is finally upon us, kicking off with a weeklong celebration at Beacon Hill’s The Liberty Hotel. Hosted by Pride Ambassadors Derek Zagami and Dominic L’Heureux, the rainbow-draped roster of events will donate a portion of its proceeds to The Boston Alliance of LGBTQ+ Youth (BAGLY, bagly.org), an organization that supports the LGBTQ+ youth community through social justice, programs and more. "My mission in life is to bring light and fun to this world, and this week of Pride celebrates is everything I stand for," says Zagami. "My motto is to live your life to the fullest, be your most authentic self and laugh along the way." Here, your lineup of not-to-be-missed Pride events awaits. 215 Charles Street, 617.224.4000, libertyhotel.com
