When so many corporations are moving away from supporting the LGBTQ+ community, one corporation isn’t – Hard Rock Atlantic City.
Every year, Hard Rock Atlantic City proudly celebrates Pride Month with events that uplift and honor the LGBTQ+ community 🌈 This year’s flag-raising and rooftop reception continued their tradition of visibility, inclusion, and celebration.

The event featured inspiring remarks from General Manager Michael Sampson, Atlantic City Council Member Kaleem Shabazz, and special guest, three-time Daytime Emmy Award winner Anthony Wilkinson LGBTQ+ Liaison and Programs and Services Coordinator Judah Dorrington and Markie Matthew Fera-Padilla · AC Pride – Board President






A reception was held at The Terrace, Hard Rock Atlantic City’s seasonal rooftop destination following the ceremony. A delicious lunch was served with the best rainbow cake I’ve ever had.

and banana pudding! Thank you Hard Rock for having our back!! We appreciate it!!
