The Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village was the site of the June 1969 Stonewall riots. That event in New York City's queer history has served as a touchstone for various social movements, as well as the catalyst for Pride parades around the world.[1][2][3]

The NYC Pride March is an annual event celebrating the LGBTQ community in New York City. The largest pride parade in North America and among the largest pride events in the world, the NYC Pride March attracts tens of thousands of participants and millions of sidewalk spectators each June.[4][5] The parade route through Lower Manhattan traverses south on Fifth Avenue, through Greenwich Village, passing the Stonewall National Monument,[6] site of the June 1969 riots that launched the modern movement for LGBTQ+ rights.
A central component of NYC Pride observances, the March occurs on the last Sunday in June.[7] An estimated four million attended the parade in 2019,[8] coinciding with the 50th anniversary of Stonewall, which drew five million visitors to Manhattan on Pride weekend.[9]
