When is NYC Pride?
The NYC Pride March is one of the largest Pride celebrations in the world, drawing an estimated 2 million spectators and tens of thousands of marchers each year. Produced by Heritage of Pride (NYC Pride), it takes place on the last Sunday of June, commemorating the anniversary of the 1969 Stonewall uprising — in 2027, that's expected to be Sunday, June 27.
The March
The march steps off at noon, heading south down Fifth Avenue from around 26th Street, turning west to pass the Stonewall National Monument in Greenwich Village, then dispersing near 15th Street and Seventh Avenue.
Pride Weekend Events
- Drag March — the Friday before the march, starting at Tompkins Square Park around 7:00 PM. A beloved grassroots, unpermitted march to the Stonewall Inn — no floats, no corporate sponsors
- Dyke March — the Saturday before, stepping off around 5:00 PM from Bryant Park. A grassroots march centering lesbian, bisexual, and queer women and nonbinary people
- Pride Island — NYC Pride's flagship music festival on Pride weekend at a waterfront venue. Past headliners include Ariana Grande, Kim Petras, and Chappell Roan. Ticketed
- PrideFest — Pride Sunday, a free open-air street festival in Greenwich Village with vendors, food, and performances running alongside the march
Queer Liberation March
An alternative to the main march, held the same Sunday. Started in 2019 as a return to protest roots — no floats, no corporate sponsors, no police. Steps off from Foley Square and marches to the Stonewall Inn.
