What time does the gay pride parade start in boston

As Pride Month is upon us, cities around the United States are hosting parades and many other events to commemorate the LGBTQ+ community and its history as good as its continuing struggle for equal rights despite what advocates see as "bullying" from the Trump administration.

Pride Month commemorates the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York, when police raided the Stonewall Inn, a prominent gay lock in Manhattan's Greenwich Village. The subsequent protests are credited with a switch in LGBTQ+ activism in the U.S.

Boston is one of many cities celebrating Pride Month this year, including with a march on June 14.

Here's what you'll need to realize about catching the Event parade in Boston this year.

When is the Boston Pride For the People parade?

The Boston Pride for the People parade will be held this year on Saturday, June 14, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. local time.

In addition to the pride, organizers are also hosting a festival Saturday from noon to 6 p.m., and a block party from 2-8 p.m.
