Address: Fifth Avenue Zipcode: 10011 Phone Number: +1 212 807 7433 Website: http://www.nycpride.org Behind the wild and fun celebration of this parade is an intense history of activism and pride: The Stonewall Inn, a gay bar on Christopher Street, was the site of a police and patron uprising in June, 1969. The next June marked the first of New York Citys annual Gay and Lesbian Pride Parade in memory of the event. The parade goes from Midtown to Greenwich Village, with clubs in full swing throughout the week. A festival, dance hop and rally are all part of the festivities.
