Staten Island Pride Parade and Festival

Parade kicks off at Central Ave and Slosson Terr. The southern borough hosts its Pride parade today, where revelers will break out their freak flags, PFLAGs and every other flag en route to Tompkinsville Park. The party isn't over at parade's end, though; that's where the festival—filled with entertainers, music and other celebratory activities—begins. For more information, go to silgbtcenter.org.
