The inaugural March took place in 1970, one year after the Stonewall Uprising, and 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.
Due to the impact of Covid-19 on our Pride season plans in 2020 and 2021, we modified our in-person March and placed significant emphasis on extending our virtual presence. Through the NYC Pride Broadcast on WABC-7, we continued to showcase our community, featuring marching contingents, Grand Marshals, non-profit organizations, sponsors, small businesses, and activists.
In 2022 and 2023, we returned to the streets, marching to celebrate our lives and the resilience of our community. We are thrilled to carry forward this spirit and determination into our 2024 season.
