Where to go after the Gay Pride Parade NYC?

• One of the biggest parties after the Gay Pride Parade NYC is the Pride Island Festival starting from 2 pm until 10 pm. This year Pride Island (formerly known as the Dance on the Pier) will move a little further uptown to a new location in Hell’s Kitchen at Pier 97, at 57th Street and the West Side Highway. The rest days the same. Pride Island will still be the best party to go to with the same electric DJs, lots of dancing all afternoon and stunning NYC views.
• Another great party is the Pride Fest at Hudson Street in the West Village where the crowds are celebrating on the streets with music and drinks. PrideFest is a street festival where you will find vendors, entertainment, and activities all celebrating equality.
• You could also join local bars after the gay pride parade in Chelsea
• At night the crowds will end up at one of the rooftop bars in the city.

Most likely every bar will have the most colorful party of the year that day.
