The majority of Pride events are held in June to commemorate the anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion in New York City on June 28, 1969. Last year was it’s 50th anniversary and 2.5 million people showed up to New York City. But this year’s Pride will look different. 

There are countless virtual events being organized across the country throughout the month of June. Mark your calendars for these events.

Boston Pride’s official kick-off to the 50th annual Boston Pride Week will open up Pride with the traditional Flag Raising at City Hall. You’ll be able to watch the mayor, elected officials, and the Boston Pride Board speak about what Pride means to the City of Boston, and why we’re still #wickedproud. It’s Friday, June 5, 2020 at 12Noon and this event will be LIVE streamed. On tuesday, June 9th at 6:00 PM Pride Lights will be live streamed.

The performing arts community is coming together for a June 4 Pride kick-off party hosted by New Alternatives, an organization that aids LGBTQ+ homeless youth in transitioning out of the shelter system. The live-streamed event will feature appearances and performances by a diverse cast of Broadway, dance, and opera stars, including Tituss Burgess and Alex Newell.

New York City Pride

NYC, home of the country’s largest Pride celebration, will still celebrate Pride the last Sunday in June—but this year, it’ll be on-air.
