NYC Pride March
June 27, 2027
Falls on the same rule every year: Last Sunday of June, closing a month of Pride events
What it is
The NYC Pride March is held on the last Sunday of June and descends directly from the first march in 1970, one year after the Stonewall uprising. The route runs down Fifth Avenue, past the Stonewall National Monument on Christopher Street, which became the first United States national monument dedicated to LGBTQ rights in 2016. Watching from the street is free, and the march takes hours to pass any single point.
What to expect
Hundreds of contingents, several hours of continuous march, and a city that is busy all month rather than for one day. The Village end around Christopher Street is the historic heart and the most crowded. Fifth Avenue in the twenties gives room to breathe near the start. Marching is by registered contingent, so joining is done through an organisation rather than by stepping in off the pavement.
Getting there
For the start use the N, R, W, F or M at 23rd Street. For the Village stretch take the 1 to Christopher Street-Stonewall or the A, C, E, B, D, F and M to West 4th Street. Streets close across a wide area of Manhattan from the morning, and several stations run exit only during the afternoon.
