    A hot pink carpet stretched past a Beverly Hills Pride Night step-and-repeat. The stage at the courtyard provided entertainment, there was plenty of room to dance, and the cash bar kept everyone socially lubricated.

    The Mayor of Beverly Hills and city council members welcomed everyone to the city’s first Pride Night.

    “I’m in a cloud with excitement,” Beverly Hills Mayor, Lili Bosse, told WEHO TIMES. “There was such vibrancy and this feeling of enthusiasm to be able to be together again and to celebrate Pride Month in Beverly Hills. It’s the first one of a lifetime more. I am beyond happy to be here.”

    Mayor Bosse was seen dancing and leading a conga line throughout the night. She said her highlight of the evening was seeing everyone together and bonding again. “It’s all about seeing all the happy faces and just seeing people feeling like they are part of our community. I just felt so much love.”

    The Mayor assures us that Pride Night will be returning to Beverly Hills next year.

    The attendance was a mixed bag of all ages, from seniors to children. There were hipsters, some interesting characters, and some rainbow colored wigs.

    West Hollywood council members Lindsey Horvath and John Erickson attended the event, as well Poet Laureate of the City of West Hollywood, Brian Sonia-Wallace.

    “This was an incredible team effort,” said Jenny Rogers, the Director of Community Services. “I’m grateful to our city council in Beverly Hills for their support in this kind of event. We wanted it to be like a community based Beverly Hills garden party and it was Fabulous. I think everyone had a wonderful time.”

    Pride Night party goers also walked away with a gift bag.
