New York Pride is one of the most significant LGBTQ+ gatherings in the world, rooted in the 1969 Stonewall uprising that launched the modern civil rights movement and continuing that legacy each year with the most visible Pride celebration in the country.
NYC Pride 2026 is built around the theme “For All of Us,” a statement of collective resilience and intersectional unity that reflects both the progress Pride has carried forward and the work that continues.

This year’s Grand Marshals include actor and SNL comedian Bowen Yang, activist and Pose actress Dominique Jackson, drag performer and activist Peppermint, broadcast journalist Bernie Wagenblast, and gun-control organization Gays Against Guns.

On Saturday, June 27, Youth Pride runs from 11 AM to 6 PM at the South Street Seaport (Pier 16 & 17). This is a free, family-friendly block-party-style event for LGBTQ+ youth and allies with live music, carnival games, and community resources.
PrideFest follows on June 28 across 4th Avenue from 14th Street to Astor Place, from 11 AM to 6 PM, the largest LGBTQ+ street festival in the country, divided into StageFest (music performances), BookFest (queer literature), and CommunityFest (nonprofits).
