Which streets will be closed for NYC Pride March? The Grandstand-an area reserved for VIPs and those who’ve paid for special passes-will be located at the General Worth Monument in Madison Square Park accessible seating will be available near the New York City AIDS Memorial across from the former St.
The organizers have provided a handy map that illustrates where it’ll begin, end, and points of interest-like street crossings and landmarks-along the way. This year, the march will follow a U-shaped route, starting at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue, heading south on Fifth, turning west just north of Washington Square Park, and finally heading up Seventh Avenue-past landmarks like the Stonewall Inn-before dispersing at 23rd Street. The march begins at noon on Sunday, June 30 it will wrap up sometime in the evening. So what do you need to know if you want to attend? Read on. The theme for the larger WorldPride festivities is “Millions of Moments of Pride,” and the Grand Marshals for the march are the cast of FX’s Pose UK Black Pride founder Phyll Opoku-Gyimah Navy veteran and transgender flag creator Monica Helms the Gay Liberation Front, which formed in the aftermath of Stonewall and the Trevor Project, which provides crisis counseling for LGBTQ youth. This year, the march will start close to Madison Square Park and end at 23rd Street and Seventh Avenue.
Approximately 2 million people attend the event in a regular year, but the WorldPride celebration all but guarantees that this year’s will be a huge blowout.
Millions of visitors are expected to descend upon NYC for the festivities, which include an opening ceremony, concerts, a massive street festival, and conferences.īut even with all of those new events (and plenty of historic sites and new LGBT memorials to visit if you’re in town for Pride, as well as local festivals like the Dyke March), the biggest shebang is still the Pride March, happening on Sunday, June 30. NYC Pride is here! And this year-the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising-is a big one for New York’s LGBTQ community: The city is hosting WorldPride, a massive, monthlong celebration of the LGTBQ community around the globe.
