New York City's two main Pride marches — the Reclaim Pride Coalition's Queer Liberation March and Heritage of Pride's NYC Pride March — will return to the streets on Pride Sunday, June 28, starting with the NYC Pride March.
Before and after both of those marches kick off, however, there will be other events across the city. Below are some of the main events on Pride Sunday in NYC — including both of the two main marches.

For many New Yorkers, Pride Sunday will begin with PrideFest, the free street festival, which begins at 11 a.m. and stretches Astor Place to 14th Street on Fourth Avenue. PrideFest will feature a wide range of vendors and themed areas to explore, including BookFest, CommunityFest, FamilyFest, FoodFest, StageFest, and WellnessFest.

The main NYC Pride March will step off 12:00 p.m. at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. The march will pass by the Stonewall Inn before concluding near 15th Street and 7th Avenue. This year's grand marshals are “Pose” star Dominique Jackson, former “RuPaul’s Drag Race” star Peppermint, New York City subway announcer Bernie Wagenblast, actor Bowen Yang, and the activist group Gays Against Guns.

The Reclaim Pride Coalition's eighth annual Queer Liberation March, a grassroots march which bars police and corporations in an effort to return to the roots of Pride, will begin in the afternoon. Marchers will assemble at 2:30 p.m. at Union Square West before stepping off at 3 p.m. and marching to Foley Square. This year's theme is "Breaking the Chains of War and Oppression for Trans and Immigrant Rights."
