Pride Parking: Lower Manhattan

2020 came and passed, and so did 2021. It’s now 2022 and COVID-19 is still around, although this time the restrictions have been lifted and in-person gatherings are now permitted. While caution is still advised and wearing masks in crowded places is expected, it’s time to get out and do some fun stuff, such as going out for dinner or lunch in the tri-state area of Lower Manhattan. You may also be participating in the Pride March during Pride Month, which is usually marked in June.

Speaking of Pride Month, the movement began in 1969 during the Stonewall Uprising. In 1970, the Christopher Street Liberation Day Committee organized the first NYC Pride March. Since then, there has been a Pride March every single year.

This year’s Pride March will be held on the 26th of June in New York. The aim of Pride Month is to recognize and celebrate the impact of the LGBTQ+ communities on society.
