New York City Pride parade 2025: Route, date, time and where to watch
As Pride Month draws to a close, cities across the U.S. are preparing for the final celebrations that punctuate the annual month of LGBTQ+ celebration. This weekend, June will go out with a bang with multiple highly anticipated parades that draw marchers and spectators to communities big and small. Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City, where subsequent protests are credited with a shift in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S. Being the birthplace of Pride as we know it, New York City has one of the biggest and most iconic celebrations and marches each year. This year's theme is "Rise up: Pride in Protest," according to organizers. "As the LGBTQIA+ community faces increasing hostility and legislative attacks, this year's theme is a reflection of the Pride movement's origins in protest—and is a powerful call to action for our communities and allies to rally and march in defiant celebration, advocacy and solidarity," said Heritage of Pride. The NYC Pride March is scheduled to begin Sunday, June 29, at 11 a.m. ET. This year's parade route begins on 5th Avenue between 25th Street and 8th Street, according to the New York City Department of Transportation. Marchers will proceed south on 5th Avenue and walk west on 8th Street. After crossing over 6th Avenue, the March will continue on Christopher Street, passing the Stonewall National Monument. It will then turn north on 7th Avenue, passing the New York City AIDS Memorial, before dispersing in Chelsea at 16th Street and 7th Avenue. In-person viewing of the 2024 March will be available along the route streets listed above. Experienced Pride-goers suggest nabbing a spot along the main stretches early, as crowds can get thick. The yearly broadcast of the event is set to air on ABC7, ABC News Live and and on the ABC7 YouTube channel and will begin at noon.

New York City Pride 2025: Food And Drink Specials That Give Back
The Rosa Sola at Rosa Mexicano LGBTQ Pride Month is in full swing in New York City. With the 2025 New York City Pride March, 'Rise Up: Pride In Protest', running down Fifth Avenue on Sunday, June 29, the city is full of celebrations and specials. These local eateries and breweries are celebrating pride with festive food and beverage specials that also give back to the LGBTQ+ community via monetary donations. Socarrat Paella Bar This sixteen-year-old Spanish restaurant with three Manhattan locations — Chelsea, Nolita, and Midtown East – will celebrate Pride with a rainbow paella. Inspired by the colors of the Pride flag, this limited-edition dish features a mix of tomato sofrito, calamari, tuna, prawns, purple cauliflower, broccoli, corn, piquillo peppers, and asparagus. Available from Friday, June 27 through Sunday, June 29, each serving is $40. A portion of proceeds from every Pride Paella sold will go to Callen-Lorde Community Health Center, which provides sensitive, quality health care and related services targeted to New York's lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender communities, regardless of ability to pay. Pride paella from Socarrat Paella Bar Bourbon Steak New York This modern American steakhouse from Michael Mina is celebrating Pride Month with a limited-time rainbow shaved ice called 'Clouds and Rainbows.' The treat features housemade rainbow shaved ice with bright, tropical flavors including guava, calamansi, mango, kiwi, and hibiscus, all topped with a coconut cloud, a coconut milk foam infused with lime and sugar. A portion of proceeds will be donated to the Matthew Shepard Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to amplifying Matthew's story to inspire dignity, equality, and compassion for all people, which also helped pioneer the country's first federal hate crimes legislation. Rosa Mexicano For all of June, this contemporary Mexican restaurant is offering a limited-time cocktail, The Rosa Sol. The bright, refreshing twist on a margarita is made with Casa Del Sol Blanco, muddled strawberries, mint, lemon, agave, and a splash of soda. Rosa Mexicano will be donating a portion of sales from the special cocktail to The Trevor Project , a nonprofit organization making life-saving impacts for young LGBTQ+ people everywhere. Threes Brewing Each year for Pride Month, Brooklyn-based brewery Threes Brewing releases Gender Neutral, a crisp pale lager brewed with lemon zest that they describe as a 'lagerade'— refreshing and perfect for summer, like a citrusy shandy. First brewed in 2017 as a show of solidarity with the LGBTQIA+ community, Gender Neutral has become an annual tradition. The beer is packaged in bold, playful cans featuring a Pride rainbow flag, and Threes donates a portion of proceeds to a local organization doing meaningful work for the LGBTQIA+ community. This year, they're partnering with the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art in SoHo, the world's only dedicated LGBTQIA+ art museum, committed to preserving and uplifting queer voices in art.
