BROOKLYN, N.Y. — Thousands gathered in Brooklyn’s Park Slope neighborhood on Saturday to celebrate at the Brooklyn Pride Festival, and its annual parade, led this year by New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, one of the event’s four grand marshals and the first NYC mayor to lead a pride parade.
Parade participants included Brooklyn Borough president Eric Adams, FDNY, Cheer New York, 5th Scouting, Dykes on Bikes and runners from the morning 5K run.
An estimated 50,000 LGBT people and their allies attended this year’s event.
