This year represented the 57th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising, drawing massive crowds to Manhattan on June 28 for Heritage of Pride’s NYC Pride March and the Reclaim Pride Coalition’s Queer Liberation March.

Check out some photos from both marches throughout Pride Sunday, starting with the NYC Pride March. Plus, we also feature some photos from the Stonewall Democratic Club of New York City’s Pride Sunday morning event with elected officials.
