NYC Pride | Heritage of Pride , the nonprofit behind NYC’s official LGBTQIA+ Pride events, has unveiled its full slate of events and programs for 2026. This year’s calendar is anchored by the renowned  Pride March , among the largest and longest-running LGBTQIA+ demonstrations in the world, and  PrideFest , the largest LGBTQIA+ street festival in the U.S., on Sunday, June 28, 2026. These annual events return alongside a wide variety of other programs that serve, celebrate, and advocate for our entire LGBTQIA+ community.

“This past year, we have learned that Pride events are not to be taken for granted - even in a safe haven like New York City,” said NYC Pride Executive Director Im Lynde. “In 2026, we are intentionally curating events that not only bring our community together in joy and celebration, but also in the fight for equality - for all of us.”
