Niagara Falls State Park will present the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra for “Pride at the Falls,” a concert celebrating World Pride 2019 and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising.

The concert will take place at 7:30 p.m. Friday, July 5, in the East Meadow on Goat Island in Niagara Falls State Park. At 10 p.m., the falls will be lit in rainbow colors and there will be a firework show.
