Heritage of Pride has officially announced the full schedule of events for NYC Pride Month 2025, offering a robust and inclusive lineup that reflects the enduring spirit, diversity, and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community. This year’s calendar blends beloved annual traditions with innovative new programs, including the organization’s first-ever official sober party, offering more ways than ever to connect, celebrate, and advocate.
At a time when LGBTQIA+ communities—particularly trans youth—are facing rising discrimination, NYC Pride aims to create spaces of empowerment, celebration, and solidarity. “NYC Pride’s 2025 calendar honors our past in protest as we continue the fight for equality and liberation,” said NYC Pride Co-Chair Michele Irimia. “This year’s slate of events will showcase the enduring spirit of our community on the world stage.”
