How long does the NYC Pride March last?
On average, the NYC Pride March takes around four to six hours to complete from start to finish. In 2023, the NYC Pride March is scheduled to start at 12 p.m. on June 25.
The march kicks off at a designated starting point (at the intersection of 26th Street with Fifth Avenue) and travels along a designated route through the streets of Manhattan. The route typically stretches from midtown Manhattan to Greenwich Village, passing iconic landmarks such as Times Square and ending in the vicinity of the Stonewall Inn, the historic site that played a pivotal role in the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
As the parade moves through the streets, participants and floats pass by cheering crowds, creating a festive and celebratory atmosphere. The pace of the march can be influenced by various factors, including the size of the contingents, performances along the route, and occasional pauses for speeches or tributes.
It's worth noting that the NYC Pride March is not just a parade but also a powerful demonstration of solidarity, activism, and celebration. Beyond the procession itself, the event encompasses a full day of activities, performances, and events, including pre-march gatherings, post-march celebrations, and additional Pride-related festivities throughout the city. These festivities can extend the duration of the overall Pride experience beyond the march itself.
