Spectators, community members celebrate New York City Pride March in Manhattan
NEW YORK (WABC) -- More than a million spectators, community members and allies celebrated Sunday's Pride March in New York Municipality, which is considered one of the largest LGBTQIA+ demonstrations around the world.
Organized by Heritage of Pride, the event began as an annual demonstration commemorating the Stonewall Riots, and has since evolved into a global symbol of resilience, unity and activism.
The festivities kicked off at 26th Street and Fifth Avenue at noon.
ABC 7 New York is a proud sponsor of the event and broadcasted the event, with Eyewitness News' Sam Champion, Lauren Glassberg, Kemberly Richardson and Pedro Rivera anchoring live team coverage of the march.
The NYPD has increased security for the event, saying the route will be reinforced with 10, metal barriers along with sanitation trucks, police cars and uniformed officers.
There are no credible threats, but Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch says some procedures will be amplified because of the conflicts in the Middle East.
