2026 Pride parades on Long Island
June is Pride Month, which celebrates declarations of love, identity and community. The organizers of this year's parades and festivals on Long Island hope that those themes will be embraced by bigger-than-ever crowds.
The 36th annual Long Island Pride Parade and Festival in Huntington organized by the New York LGBT Network will take place on June 14.
"This year’s theme is Unstoppable Pride, a reflection of a strong Long Island community that continues to show up, stand strong and move forward together," says president of the parade and network David Kilmnick.
Here are five towns that are hosting free Pride parades and post-celebrations.

The parade begins at Second and Broad streets, travels down to Main Street and concludes at Front Street. This year’s parade theme is "Unstoppable Pride."
"This parade has a more relaxed, community-driven feel, it really reflects the spirit of the North Fork and how people come together in a meaningful way," says Kilmnick.
This year’s grand marshals include: Lori Panarello, a former New York LGBT Network board member who helped found North Fork Pride; North Fork Women; local business owner Linda Kessler; and Stanley Lomangino, owner of Maggio Environmental.
A post-parade festival will be held in Mitchell Park, where there will a vendor market, food booths and the carousel will be open.
