NBC New York celebrates NYC Pride with a special preview of the 2024 Pride March hosted by Dave Price and Kay Angrum. 

Thousands of revelers are expected to hit the streets of Manhattan on Sunday for the annual NYC Pride March.

Pride Month takes place in June to honor the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in Manhattan, a touchstone event in LGBTQ history that laid the foundation for Pride. The month aims to inspire, educate, commemorate, celebrate and recognize the impact that LGBTQIA+ has had on history locally, nationally, and internationally.

This year's NYC Pride March will be no different and takes place on June 30 starting from 25th Street and 5th Avenue at 12 p.m.

Pride Month celebrates all the achievements and contributions of the LGBTQ+ community. But why is it celebrated in June? The story starts at a bar in New York City: The Stonewall Inn. NBC New York's Jennifer Vázquez reports. 

The grand marshals for this year's march include DaShawn Usher, Miss Major, Michelle Visage, Raquel Willis, Eshe Ukwell and Baddie Brooks.
