NYC Pride

This summer, join together with others to celebrate Pride in New York City. Find support and empowerment for the strength displayed by those who have and continue to be discriminated against for their identity. Each year’s Pride events commemorate the Stonewall Uprising of 1969 — the beginning of the modern Gay Rights movement.

New York City Pride 2023: Strength in Solidarity

Every year, millions of people travel to New York City in order to relish in the events of NYC Pride. The theme of NYC Pride 2023 is “Strength in Solidarity.” This year’s theme highlights the cultural significance of the LGBTQIA+ community within the fabric of modern society, while acknowledging every individual’s uniqueness and ability to wield tremendous power when united with others. NYC Pride seeks to illuminate the good that can and has been accomplished through uplifting and supporting one another.

The Pride March

The annual Pride March begins on Saturday, June 25th at 12:00pm. The march is made up of mostly non-profit groups supporting different LGBTQIA+ causes. While marching, you’ll pass by the Stonewall National Monument and the New York City AIDS Memorial.

This event is free for all participants.
