Spectator Info

Spectators

From costumes to signs, the Disability Pride Parade is an exciting event to watch, and we hope you'll join us. Here's some information about the Parade to know in advance.

• The entire event is accessible

• While each block will have performers, you won't be able to see all of them from one location, as each will remain on their designated block. You will, however, be able to see all the marchers.

• Chairs are available at a nominal cost if you register for the parade two weeks in advance, and indicate this request. Please indicate that you will be participating as a spectator only in the "notes" section.

• We encourage you to bring Disability Pride-themed items such as flags or signs

• Take a look at the Parade map to choose a spot for optimal viewing

• You'll find it helpful to review the Parade schedule

• Join us after the Parade for music, speeches, and tabling at the Union Square block party
