NYC Pride | 2017 March

***ATTENTION***_WE ARE SORRY BUT OUR REGISTRATIONS FOR 2017 IS NOW CLOSED! DONATIONS MADE ARE NOT CONSIDERED A REGISTRATION TO MARCH. PLEASE COME BACK IN NOVEMBER TO REGISTER FOR 2018. _ _THANK YOU!_ --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Registration opens Thursday, December 1st at noon and closes Monday, May 15 at 11:30 p.m.  The first March was held in 1970 and has since become an annual civil rights demonstration. Over the years its purpose has broadened to include recognition of the fight against AIDS and to remember those we have lost to illness, violence and neglect. The March is a celebration of our lives and our community. In 2016, we were joined by over 350 unique marching contingents, representing a vast array of non-profits, community organizations, corporate sponsors, small businesses, political candidates and activists! With over 55 floats making the trek down Fifth Avenue, last year's March was one of the largest and most exciting in history. Before we begin, be sure you are familiar with the 2017 March Rules [https://s3.amazonaws.com/nyc-pride/uploads/2017MarchRules.pdf] and our FAQs [https://s3.amazonaws.com/nyc-pride/uploads/2017MarchFAQ.pdf]. WHILE WE ENCOURAGE YOU TO REGISTER EARLY, THE MARCH ORDER IS NOT DETERMINED BY WHEN YOU REGISTER. _This year we are adding a new service!
