Pride FAQs

General FAQs:

Why do you celebrate Pride in July?

In Rochester, Pride is traditionally celebrated in July! Rochester's first Pride was a picnic that took place in July. We also celebrate Pride Month in June, which honors the 1969 Stonewall Uprising in New York City. There are many other Pride events held across New York State in June, and scheduling the Pride Parade and Festival in July allows people to travel to many different cities and attend many different celebrations. We also like to say that one Pride month isn't enough for us - we need two!
