The most spectacular photos of summer 2015 in NYC

Relive the parades, fireworks and endless dance parties that made this New York summer unforgettable

Before you unplug your window AC unit and unbox your cardigans, relive some of the events that made New York City one of the best places to sweat out the summer. See photos from the most perfectly timed Pride March ever and the sickest parties and festivals on the grass, like Afropunk Fest. And if you’re dreading the return of sleeves and sweaters, find solidarity in the brave marchers from the Go Topless Day parade. Cut open one last watermelon and indulge in these images of one of the wildest summers NYC has ever seen.
