In 2020, in-person Pride celebrations took a hit as cities canceled Pride parades and other events to keep everyone safe from COVID.

But as more and more people in the U.S. get vaccinated, Pride is coming back. While some Pride committees are still putting together their plans given the impact of the virus, many have a host of fun and safe in-person celebrations to honor not only Pride Month in June, but Pride throughout 2021. 

Mashable contacted Pride committees around the nation to keep you up to date on all the best places to show your pride. 

New York City

Take part in NYC’s LBGT Pride Run (entry fees apply) on June 26 at 7 a.m. (There’s a virtual option, too.) 

The next day, walk around, eat great food, and check out craft vendors, entertainers, and music at NYC Pride’s annual free LGBTQIA+ street fair,  starting at 11 a.m. on June 27.

Boston

This year, Boston Pride is scaling down its Pride in-person offerings with one event, the seventh edition of its Pride Night @ Fenway Park on Thursday, June 10 at 7:10 p.m. The first 1,000 attendees will receive a Progress ‘B’ T-shirt, which includes colors to represent people of color and the trans flag (the “B” stands for Boston Red Sox).
