The New Queens Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival is Saturday June 2!
Jackson Heights is going to be abuzz this Saturday for the New Queens Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival. The festival runs from 11am – 6pm at the intersection of 37th Road and 75th Street and the parade starts at noon, going down 37th Avenue from 89th Street to 75th Street.
The Queens Pride Parade and Multicultural Festival is the second oldest and second largest pride parade in New York City. Founded in 1993, it is held annually on the first Sunday in June, in the neighborhood of Jackson Heights.
The parade was founded by Daniel Dromm and co-chaired by Maritza Martinez to raise the visibility of the LGBTQ community in Queens and memorialize Jackson Heights resident Julio Rivera. Queens also serves as the largest transgender hub in the Western hemisphere and is the most ethnically diverse urban area in the world.
