Former 'SNL' star Bowen Yang is going to lead the NYC Pride March as Grand Marshal
""Being a Grand Marshal in the city that helped me find my community and my voice is incredibly special.""
""Our Grand Marshals have blazed trails and opened doors in entertainment, media and advocacy. Their visibility alone is worth celebrating, but they are fighting for opportunity, support and safety for our entire LGBTQIA+ community.""
The 2026 NYC Pride March will feature Bowen Yang as one of the Grand Marshals, alongside other notable LGBTQ+ figures like Dominique Jackson and Peppermint. The event, scheduled for June 28, aims to draw millions and highlights the importance of trans visibility and advocacy. Yang expressed personal significance in the role, reflecting on the march's impact on his life. NYC Pride Executive Director Im Lynde emphasized the honorees' contributions to entertainment and advocacy, underscoring the ongoing fight for LGBTQIA+ rights. The weekend will also include events like PrideFest and Youth Pride.
