Pride Parade NYC
About Us
Since 2015, as one of the only citywide disability pride events, the NYC Disability Pride Parade has brought thousands together to march, roll, dance, and celebrate our vibrant disability community. Together, we've continued to build a citywide celebration where neighbors, allies, and advocates from every background can join in the joy, the strength, and the warmth of belonging.
Our Mission
The parade honors our past, celebrates our present, and invites our city to imagine a more accessible future. We walk and roll to show the power of protest, the joy of celebration, and the strength of community.
Accessibility
Accessibility is a priority for us, so the entire Parade route is wheelchair-accessible and ASL interpreters are available.
10:00 AM — Line-up at Madison Square Park (arrive on time for section assignments)
10:30 AM — Opening remarks and photos (repeated at 12:10 PM in Union Square Park)
11:00 AM — Parade starts
12:00–3:00 PM — Block Party in Union Square Park: Performances, community tables, performances, and activities
Powered by community, this parade is made stronger by the people and organizations who bring their creativity, resources, and spirit to the day. We are presently reaching out to all organizations that played a role in those first parades, and we warmly invite new partners to join us. Together, we can create a celebration where power, protest, and joy unite our city.
Thank you to our 2026 partners (more to come)!
