NYC Pride March 2023: Everything You Need to Know.

The 53rd Annual NYC Pride March celebrating the LGBTQ+ community will take place on Sunday, June 25th, starting at 11 a.m. from 25th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. This year's grand marshals include Yasmin Benoit, AC Dumlao, Billy Porter, Randolfe "Randy" Wicker, and Hope Giselle. Street closures will be in effect along the route, which includes 5th Avenue, Greenwich Avenue, and Christopher Street. The first Pride march was held in 1970 following the Stonewall Uprising of 1969, and organizers call the event a "march" not a "parade" due to its political roots and ongoing fight for equality.
