While the event is free, there will be premium tickets for sale (for reserved seating and prepackaged meals) to support the Heritage of Pride foundation
EVENTS FOR GAY PRIDE NYC MOVIE
In 1969, police raided the gay bar for what would be the final time, and patrons and locals pushed back, sparking an equal rights movement that would spread worldwide. The Stonewall Riots were a seminal point in the LGBTQ rights movement, with action centered at The Stonewall Inn on Christopher Street in New York City’s Greenwich Village neighborhood.
That’s too big of a deal for just one day of celebrating, so events will be happening all throughout June - and many are family-friendly. It’s the first time WorldPride will be celebrated in New York City, and marks the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the pride movement at the Stonewall Riots. The State of New York is pulling out all the stops to welcome LGBTQ community members from around the globe for WorldPride 2019 in June.
