NYC Pride March 2024: Date, route, street closures and more to know
NEW YORK (PIX11) – The NYC Pride March will be held in the streets of Manhattan on Sunday.
The NYC Pride March is one of the largest LGBTQ+ events in the world. It has been an annual event since it was first held in 1970 to commemorate the one-year anniversary of the momentous Stonewall Uprising in Greenwich Village.
“[The NYC Pride March] has since evolved into an annual civil rights demonstration. Its purpose has expanded over time to encompass raising awareness about the fight against AIDS and honoring those we have lost to illness, violence, and neglect,” the NYC Pride March website says.
The NYC Pride March typically attracts tens of thousands of participants and millions of spectators.
