Pride
Temperatures in New York City are expected to reach 89 degrees Fahrenheit on Sunday, so wear sunscreen and dress appropriately for the heat.
The parade spotlights many activist and nonprofit groups, who march with signs and floats, but for many Pride attendees, the best parts of the event aren't the parade itself. In addition to the many people gathering as a community, the side streets on the parade route are filled with booths and stands where you can buy merchandise (such as flags, pins, and other trinkets) and food.
There is usually music, entertaining, and lots of glitter along the way! You will likely see many people, often with their partners and friends, wearing face paint and outfits in Pride colors.
