Sunday, June 25 is the big Heritage of Pride March, also known as the Pride Parade, which steps off at noon at Fifth Avenue and 36th Street and heads down into West Village. Below, you can find the street closures, which start at 11 a.m., for the parade's formation, route, dispersal and festival.
The grand marshals for the parade are NYC's first openly transgender firefighter Brooke Guinan; Krishna Stone, Community Relations Director at Gay Men’s Health Crisis; Geng Le, an LGBT rights activist in China and the ACLU and NYCLU, with Gavin Grimm.
Besides activists and gorgeously-decked out (or nearly naked) performers, numerous elected officials will be on the parade route; State Senator Brad Hoylman said, "I’ll be handing out 5,000 copies of the U.S. Constitution this weekend at NYC Pride because Donald Trump is a one-man constitutional crisis. Now, it’s more important than ever for the LGBT community to know its rights."
