About your trip

A Pride weekend designed for lesbian, queer, nonbinary, and trans travelers who want to experience New York as locals do.

New York City Pride is one of the most powerful Pride celebrations in the world and it can also be overwhelming if you try to do everything. This trip is designed with intention, care, and community at its center.

This queer group trip is created specifically for lesbian, queer, nonbinary, and trans travelers who want to experience NYC Pride from a local perspective. We’ll move through the city the way many queer New Yorkers do: walking neighborhoods, taking the subway, honoring queer history, eating iconic food, and choosing when to gather and when to explore independently.

Across five days, we’ll balance shared experiences with space to rest, wander, and follow your own curiosities. From visiting historic LGBTQ landmarks and participating in the Dyke March to enjoying Pride weekend events and some of the best queer nightlife in the world, this journey is about celebrating Pride without rushing the moments that matter most.

EveryQueer trips are rooted in community. Whether you’re dancing, walking, talking late into the night, or taking a quiet moment to yourself, this experience is about feeling supported, comfortable, and fully yourself while celebrating Pride in the city where modern queer liberation began.

Queer History & Pride Energy

Today begins with a deeper look at New York City’s LGBTQ history. We’ll explore the streets of Greenwich Village on a guided queer history walking tour, learning about the activism, resistance, and community that shaped the modern LGBTQ rights movement. Along the way, we’ll visit the Stonewall Inn, honoring the legacy of those who fought for the rights we celebrate today.

The tour will conclude at the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art, the world’s first museum dedicated to LGBTQ art. From there, we’ll pause for coffee nearby, giving you time to sit, reflect, connect, or continue exploring independently.

The afternoon is open to follow your interests. Visit another museum, wander SoHo or the Village, return to the hotel, or explore whatever draws you in.

City Exploration & Dyke March

This morning, we’ll explore New York City together through one of the most iconic local experiences taking the water. We’ll ride the NYC Ferry, offering skyline views and a relaxed way to move between neighborhoods while seeing the city from a different perspective.

We’ll gather for lunch at Time Out Market New York, a beloved Brooklyn food hall featuring some of the city’s best local vendors. This is a chance to eat well, connect, and enjoy being in the heart of Brooklyn before Pride energy builds.

After lunch, we’ll take the ferry back to Manhattan, arriving in time to attend one of Pride weekend’s most meaningful traditions the NYC Dyke March. Grassroots, unapologetic, and deeply affirming, the Dyke March is one of the most powerful Pride spaces for queer women, trans, and nonbinary people. The march concludes in Washington Square Park, where the energy continues through celebration, gathering, and community.

After the march, the evening is yours to continue celebrating, grab dinner, or ease into Pride nightlife at your own pace.

Included: Breakfast, Ferry Tickets, Group Exploration & Dyke March

Pride Sunday, Brooklyn Style

Enjoy a slow morning to sleep in, grab coffee, and ease into the day.

On Pride Sunday, we’ll experience New York the way many queer locals do, away from the parade route and rooted in Brooklyn’s queer community. Rather than navigating the crowds in Manhattan, we’ll spend the day together in Brooklyn, where much of the city’s lesbian, queer, trans, and nonbinary community gathers to celebrate.

The afternoon and evening are designed around curated, community-centered Pride experiences. We’ll gather at beloved queer spaces, connect with the wider community, and attend one of the most exciting Pride weekend events created specifically for lesbian, queer, trans, and nonbinary people.

This is Pride as locals experience it: social, joyful, and grounded in community. A day focused on connection, celebration, and being fully present together.

Included: Breakfast & Tickets to Pride Event

Explore NYC & Farewell Dinner

Use the morning and afternoon to explore New York City on your own terms. By now, you’ll be comfortable navigating the subway, moving through neighborhoods, and following your curiosities, whether that means revisiting a favorite spot, checking off one last NYC must-see, or picking up souvenirs to bring home.

In the early evening, we’ll reunite for our farewell dinner. We’ll laugh, share stories from the weekend, and reflect on the experience of Pride in New York together. Farewell dinners are a favorite part of EveryQueer trips, a meaningful moment to close the journey and celebrate the connections formed along the way.

Included: Breakfast & Farewell Group Dinner
