As Pride Month draws to a close, cities across the U.S. are preparing for the final celebrations that punctuate the annual month of LGBTQ+ celebration.

This weekend, June will go out with a bang with multiple highly anticipated parades that draw marchers and spectators to communities big and small. Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S. Being the birthplace of Pride as we know it, New York City has one of the biggest and most iconic celebrations and marches each year.

This year’s theme is “Rise up: Pride in Protest,” according to organizers. “As the LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing hostility and legislative attacks, this year’s theme is a reflection of the Pride movement’s origins in protest—and is a powerful call to action for our communities and allies to rally and march in defiant celebration, advocacy and solidarity,” said Heritage of Pride.

When is the NYC Pride parade?

The NYC Pride March is scheduled to begin Sunday, June 29, at 11 a.m. ET.
