NYC & Company laying groundwork for Year of Pride

June is usually synonymous with LGBTQ pride in New York, but with so many milestones and events, most notably the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall uprising and World Pride’s first U.S.-based celebration, NYC & Company has dubbed 2019 the “Year of Pride.”

“There are literally going to be hundreds of exhibitions, programs, speaker series throughout the year that are really going to give people the opportunity to come and engage in that history, and enjoy this theme not just in the month of June, in the [traditional] pride month, but in fact throughout the year,” said Fred Dixon, NYC & Company’s president and CEO.

The cornerstones of the Year of Pride celebrations are the 50th anniversary of the 1969 riots at the Stonewall Inn in Greenwich Village that sparked the gay rights movement and World Pride for the first time taking place in the U.S. World Pride will magnify the commemorations that usually take place on the Stonewall anniversary.
