Thepride march began as an annual civil rights demonstration the year after the New York city stonewall riots of 1969. Over the years, the march has evolved to a celebration of life and the promotion of pride and sense of community through a week long series of events.other annual pride events include: pridefest, the annual lgbtqia+ street fair; annual dance events, where people of different backgrounds and cultures come together to celebrate diversity; and the pride rally, featuring well known performers and motivatingspeakers from the lgbtqia+ community which marks the beginning of the pride week events.
