PRIDE MARCH PARTICIPATION AND WRISTBAND PROCESS
The NYC Pride March is strictly enforcing the rules this year, limiting the number of marchers each organization can have. Each organization will be allocated 100 wristbands which must be worn by marchers.
Here are the key details for participating in the 2024 Pride March:
Wristband Requirement:
All marchers must wear wristbands.
Wristband Allocation:
Each organization will receive up to 100 wristbands.
Priority Wristbands for GSM Donors and VIPs
Donors and individuals on the VIP list are guaranteed a wristband but you MUST CONFIRM by signing up during the conference at the registration table by 12PM on Saturday June 29th.
GSM General Conference Attendees Wristband Request
General GSM Conference attendees will need to REQUEST A WRISTBAND during the conference at the registration table by Saturday June 29th at 12PM. A lottery will take place that day to determine who will receive the remaining wristbands for Sunday. Those chosen will be notified shortly after.
Note: Those who registered online and indicated interest in participating will have priority for wristbands over those who didn’t.
**The double decker bus that will be following us in the parade is reserved for donors, sponsors and committee members. If you want to access the double decker bus, you must make an additional tax-deductible donation of at least $100 by clicking HERE. This extra donation will also grant you access to top deck of the Dance on the River cruise ship where the DJ booth and private mocktail bar will be. You must have a Special Access Wristband to get on the bus or the private top deck of the ship.
Please be advised: The step-off time for marchers could be a short or it could be a long wait. If you lack patience, we suggest making other plans. The double decker bus is reserved and intended for those with mobility issues, elders, donors and event sponsors.
We suggest bringing: comfortable sneakers, light clothing and sunscreen/sunblock. This year's group theme is Superheroes!
