Harlem Pride 2023: What To Know About The Uptown Celebration

HARLEM, NY — Harlem Pride is returning to the neighborhood in 2023 with a variety of events and celebrations.

The day of celebration will take place June 24 from noon to 6 p.m.

A parade will travel through Harlem between West 133rd and 138th streets. There will also be two entertainment stages with live music, as well as face painting, and a Drag Queen Story Hour.

"While certainly an event steeped in celebration, it serves as our greatest opportunity to disseminate information and provide services to our constituents, including referrals for health, legal and financial services, and on-the-spot testing for communicable diseases," reads the event's website.

Registration is open for food vendors, merchant tables, community tables, and medical testing and vaccine packages, which you can check out — HERE.

Since the inaugural celebration in 2010, more than 20,000 people on average have attended Harlem Pride Day each year.

Its mission is to "empower Harlem's SGL/LGBTQ community (which includes, family, friends, and allies,) to improve its physical, mental, and economic health and wellness."

Harlem Pride also always looks to base its activities within the neighborhood from the East River to the Hudson, from 110th to 160th street.

The co-founders of Harlem Pride are Lawrence Rodriguez and Carmen Neely.
