East Hampton Pride in Pictures | The East Hampton Star

Jimmy Mack and Brian Mott rode a Southampton Village Ocean Rescue Jet Ski in Saturday's East Hampton Village Pride Parade.

There was rain, and then some, but there were plenty of rainbows at the East Hampton Village Pride Parade on Saturday, led this year by the Tony Award-winning performer, writer, and filmmaker John Cameron Mitchell as grand marshal.

After the parade, in Herrick Park, Mr. Mitchell performed for a soaked but enthusiastic crowd.

This was the fourth year for the event, which was founded in 2021 at the encouragement of East Hampton Village Mayor Jerry Larsen. Tom House of Hamptons Pride has been instrumental in making the event the success it is, with all the money to stage it raised at a single annual fund-raiser, with this year’s set to take place at the LongHouse Reserve in East Hampton on the evening of June 21.

There were groups representing churches and houses of worship from across the East End, including St. Luke's Episcopal in East Hampton, whose pastor, the Rev. Ben Shambaugh, center, is seen outside the car with Peter Van Scoyoc and Dianne Benson. *Durell Godfrey*
