There’s no more iconic Pride season than the one held every year in New York City. After all, it’s where the first brick flew in the battle for gay rights at Stonewall in 1969!

But with an event this big, it’s far too easy to miss out on the best parties and events. But fear not because equalpride, in partnership with New York City Pride, has created the ultimate guide to NYC Pride 2023. Not only is there a breakdown of some of this year’s special events, but the guide also features exclusive interviews with the queen of the nightlife, Kevin Aviance, artist Darrel Ellis, and artist Thaddeus Coates.

Plus, get all the tea on long-time ally and diva supreme Christina Aguilera's headlining event, the Pride Island Dance on the Pier on Sunday, June 25.

The NYC Pride 2023 guide has everything you need to know about all the events, the featured celebrities, health and safety guidelines, and more. Check it all out — and more — below. And be sure to swing by the equalpride booth at PrideFest on Sunday, say hello, and score some exclusive swag plus a free subscription to Out magazine and The Advocate.
