New York Pride March
The New York Pride March is an annual event celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and promoting equal rights. It takes place in June, coinciding with Pride Month, to commemorate the Stonewall Riots of 1969, which were pivotal in the fight for LGBTQ+ rights. The march attracts millions of participants and spectators, showcasing vibrant floats, performances, and a spirit of inclusivity.
The event typically starts at Fifth Avenue and ends in Greenwich Village, featuring a diverse array of organizations, activists, and allies. It serves as a platform for raising awareness about ongoing issues faced by the LGBTQ+ community while fostering a sense of unity and pride.
