New York City Pride parade Route, date, time and where to watch
As Pride Month draws to a close, cities across the U.S. are preparing for the final celebrations that punctuate the annual month of LGBTQ+ celebration.

Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall Uprising in Brand-new York City, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S. Being the birthplace of Pride as we know it, New York City has one of the biggest and most iconic celebrations and marches each year.
This year's theme is "Rise up: Pride in Protest," according to organizers. "As the LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing hostility and legislative attacks, this year’s theme is a reflection of the Pride movement’s origins in protest—and is a powerful contact to action for our communities and allies to rally and march in defiant celebration, advocacy and solidarity," said Heritage of Pride.
