Upcoming Events
Black Pride NYC
New York's celebration of LGBTQ+ Black pride, held annually each Memorial Day weekend with a multi-day programme of parties, community gatherings, and cultural events. NYC Black Pride is one of the largest Black LGBTQ+ celebrations in the world.

An annual LGBTQ+ pride celebration centred in Harlem's Sugar Hill and Hamilton Heights neighbourhoods, honouring the historic Black queer community that shaped the area. Harlem Pride hosts a festival, film screenings, and community events each June.
NYC Pride March
The world's largest LGBTQ+ pride march, held annually in late June along Fifth Avenue to mark the anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising. NYC Pride draws millions of participants and spectators from around the world and has been a defining event in LGBTQ+ history since 1970.
MIX NYC Queer Experimental Film Festival
New York's longest-running queer experimental film festival, presenting challenging and boundary-pushing LGBTQ+ cinema since 1987. MIX NYC champions avant-garde, narrative, and documentary work that falls outside mainstream distribution, with a particular emphasis on emerging and international queer filmmakers.
Wigstock
An annual outdoor drag festival revived in New York, originally staged in Tompkins Square Park from 1984 and now held on Pier 17 at the South Street Seaport. Wigstock celebrates drag culture in all its extravagance and has been a landmark event in NYC queer nightlife history since its founding by Lady Bunny.
CineKink NYC
An annual film festival in New York City celebrating kink-positive and sex-forward cinema, showcasing shorts, features, and documentaries that explore sexuality and desire outside the mainstream. CineKink has run since 2003 and draws an open-minded, queer-inclusive audience.
An inclusive St. Patrick's Day parade held annually in Sunnyside, Queens since 2000, founded as a direct alternative to the Manhattan parade's exclusion of LGBTQ+ groups. St. Pat's for All explicitly welcomes LGBTQ+ marchers, immigrants, and all communities, and has grown into a beloved neighbourhood tradition.
Stonewall 50 / WorldPride NYC
The historic 2019 commemoration of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, which brought WorldPride to New York City for the first time. The events drew an estimated five million people to NYC, including world leaders and delegations from over 90 countries, making it the largest LGBTQ+ gathering in history.
Queens Pride
The annual LGBTQ+ pride celebration in Jackson Heights, Queens — one of the most diverse and culturally rich queer neighbourhoods in New York. Queens Pride draws a vibrant, predominantly Latino and South Asian LGBTQ+ community each June with a parade and street festival along Roosevelt Avenue.
Queer Liberation March
An annual protest march held in New York City each June as an alternative to the corporate NYC Pride March, organized by the Reclaim Pride Coalition since 2019. The Queer Liberation March is unpermitted, free of floats and sponsors, and marches without police escort, centring the radical roots of LGBTQ+ resistance.
Brooklyn LGBTQ+ community center providing community programs, support services, and advocacy for local residents.
