NYC Pride Weekend: Marches, Festivals and Street Closures Across the City

NYC Pride weekend features the NYC Pride March on Sunday (noon) from 26th Street and Fifth Avenue through Greenwich Village to the Stonewall Inn with grand marshals; the Queer Liberation March—described as a grassroots, corporation-free event—expects thousands and ends at Washington Square Park; the Dyke March takes place Saturday from Bryant Park to Washington Square Park with the theme “Hot Dykes Melt Ice”; Youth Pride at Pier 16 and Pride Fest along Fourth Avenue add to the lineup. The NYPD will close blocks along the Pride March route, while no official street closures were announced for the Queer Liberation or Dyke marches, and organizers emphasize accessibility and safety amid past Pride-related incidents.
