Happy Pride!

If heading into Manhattan isn’t part of your celebrations this weekend (or you’re doing that earlier), there are a number of ways to celebrate the 57th year of NYC Pride (dating back to the original Stonewall Riots in 1969) right here in North Brooklyn.

What makes it extra special? This Saturday is the 56th anniversary to the day of the first march on June 27, 1970. Check out our non-exhaustive list of activities and festivities below.
