Brooklyn Pride

June 8 in Brooklyn

On June 8th, Brooklyn is hosting its annual pride events featuring a morning Pride Run, a multicultural festival, and an evening “Twilight Pride Parade.” The Pride Run is a 5K through Prospect Park at 10 a.m. (click here to register) which is sponsored by the Front Runners Club of New York. Everyone is welcome to participate and, for those who choose not to participate, come help cheer on the LGBTQ community members and allies as they run through Brooklyn.

Later in the day, the multicultural festival lines six blocks of Fifth Avenue in Brooklyn (from 1st to 9th streets) and brings together the different cultures of Brooklyn to celebrate Pride. Between two different stages in Brooklyn, come watch performers of all kinds express their pride!

Additionally, the closing “Twilight Pride Parade” begins at Lincoln Place at 7:30 p.m. and features Brooklyn’s own unique twist on the traditional Pride parade. (Also note: The 38th annual NY LGBT Pride Run in Central Park will take place on June 29th).
