So, You Wanna Know When the NYC Pride Parade Was in 2023?
Let's get one thing straight: if you're reading this in 2024 and wondering about the 2023 Pride parade, you’re either incredibly forgetful or you’ve been living under a very colorful rock. But fear not, friend, I’m here to jog your memory or enlighten your existence.
Pride in the Big Apple: A Quick Recap
The NYC Pride March, a dazzling display of rainbows, glitter, and unbridled joy, took place on Sunday, June 25, 2023. That’s right, folks, it was a Sunday fling, not a Saturday night fever kind of event. So, if you missed it, you missed a major party. But don’t worry, there’s always next year (or this year, depending on when you're reading this).
Why Sunday, You Ask?
Good question, hypothetical inquisitive person. Apparently, Sundays are for brunch, football, and apparently, massive Pride parades. Who knew? Maybe it's because everyone's already hungover from Saturday night, so they need a reason to get out of bed. Or maybe it’s just to mess with people’s plans. Either way, it worked.
More Than Just a Parade
Now, while the Pride March is the main event, it's far from the only thing happening during Pride month. There are parties, festivals, and enough glitter to blind a unicorn. So, even if you missed the parade, you probably still had a chance to soak up some Pride vibes.
