Join us at the forefront of progress and unity at the 2024 New York City Pride Parade! This year's theme, "Reflect. Empower. Unite." encapsulates our ongoing journey toward equality and visibility throughout the industry. This year, we will gather in Chelsea to commence a march that not only celebrates our identities but also honors the legacy of those who have paved the way for the rights we cherish today. As we stride through the streets of Manhattan, from the bustling energy of Midtown to the historic streets of the West Village, we carry the banner of inclusivity, showcasing the vibrancy and resilience of our community. Don't miss this chance to be part of a moving display of solidarity and pride in our professional and personal lives.
Please note that many details are still being coordinated by the NYC Pride organizers. We will distribute updated information by email to everyone who registers through Eventbrite below.
