NYC Pride announces Grand Marshals for 2026 march

Updated 2 hours ago
NEW YORK (WABC) -- NYC Pride has unveiled its Grand Marshals for the 2026 march this June.

Among the honorees are Dominique Jackson, Peppermint, Bernie Wagenblast, Bowen Yang, and Gays Against Guns.

Organizers say the group was selected for their impact in advancing LGBTQ equality and visibility - especially during a time of renewed challenges for the community.

"Our Grand Marshals have blazed trails and opened doors in entertainment, media, and advocacy," said NYC Pride Executive Director Im Lynde. "Their visibility alone is worth celebrating, but they are fighting for opportunity, support, and safety for our entire LGBTQIA+ community."

The march, which is one of the largest in the world, steps off June 28 in Manhattan.



WABC is a proud sponsor of the march. You can watch it on Channel 7 and wherever you stream ABC 7.
