41st Gay Pride Parade

Typically, the NYC Gay Pride Parade is held on the last day of the week in late June. Also held on the last day are the Gay Pride Festival, along with the annual Dance on Pier 54 (13th St. at the Hudson River) following the parade wrapping up Gay Pride Week in a grand fireworks display.

2010 marks the 41st Anniversary of the Stonewall Riots in 1969, and a reminder that the Gay Pride Parade was not always such a festive event.

Today, the Gay Pride Parade is an upbeat and festive event that draws huge crowds from around the Metro New York area numbering more than one million participants and spectators.

The starting point is 5th Ave. and 36th Street and goes South to end up at Greenwich Village, where the Stonewall Bar still is standing in all it's wonderful glory!
