Pride On!
This year’s NYC Pride Parade is back! After being canceled last year due to the pandemic, the parade is back in a hybrid form: Portions will be virtual, with some in-person elements sprinkled throughout. This year’s theme is “The Fight Continues,” which pays tribute to the challenges still faced by the LGBTQ community, the city and the country as a whole. The parade, along with a PrideFest celebration, will take place June 27.

Its seven galleries are filled with 1,500 artifacts, costumes, instruments, sheet music and more, with high-tech displays, films and virtual exhibits rounding out the offerings.
