Events range from a circuit party to a symposium to a Broadway Sings concert honoring Taylor Swift. Lots of NYC Pride events are taking place in the days leading up to and following the Pride March and PrideFest. And NYC PrideFest, the LGBTQ street fair, is back and not to be missed! Stop by 4th Avenue between 13th and 9th Streets in Manhattan for musical performances, entertainers, food, activities, and Pride gear from unique vendors. The parade kicks off at noon at 25th Street and 5th Avenue.
The NYC Pride March is back for its 53rd year and it'll be hosted by a slew of celebrity Grand Marshals including Saturday Night Live’s Punkie Johnson. Call ahead and check websites and social media to make sure attractions are open and available. Remember to social distance and wear a mask as required by state guidelines. At these and other Pride events in New York, LGBTQ New Yorkers and visitors will come together again in the birthplace of the modern movement to show love for each other, for the community, and for New York! 2022 highlights include the return of the NYC Pride March, the illumination of Niagara Falls in Pride colors, and Long Island Pride’s newest location. A touch of normalcy has returned and communities are gathering together in-person once again to celebrate Pride safely.
Pride is always an exciting time in New York, and this year’s events bring with it an extra sense of hope.
