So get out the glitter and gear up for the celebration of a lifetime: Here’s every NYC Pride month parade, party, screening, talk, performance, exhibit, ball, festival, and concert you can hit this June. Theaters, gay bars, historical societies, libraries, and city parks all have additional educational, entertaining, and decadent plans of their own. There are 5 million people in this country. The So Paulo Gay Pride Parade is Brazil’s largest event. In 2015 there were 1 million attendees and in 2016 there were 2 million. WorldPride alone added dozens of new events to 2019’s already packed Pride month calendar, and those are just the tip of the iceberg. A reliable statistic is that NYC Pride March in New York City consistently holds up as the biggest pride parade in North America.
New Yorkers and folks from all over the world are amped to commemorate the Stonewall Inn’s historic place in the modern Gay Rights Movement, celebrate WorldPride’s aim to bridge communities across cultures, and have an all-around excellent time. The combination of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, the first ever stateside WorldPride, and an entire month teeming with all manner of LGBTQIA+ events promises to make this June the greatest Pride month NYC has ever seen. The countdown to the NYC Pride March on Sunday, June 30, has begun, with plenty of time to prepare for the main event.
