Among the parades is the 8th Annual Disability Pride Parade on Sunday scheduled to take over several Manhattan streets. In addition to parades and runs spanning several blocks, there will also be relatively smaller events such as the Hell's Kitchen Fall Fair, which is scheduled to shut down a section of 8th Avenue. As noted in an advisory from the NYPD, the closures will be at the discretion of police.

The New York City Labor Day Parade is the oldest and largest Labor Day Parade in the United States. Organized by the New York City Central Labor Council, it honors the strength and solidarity of workers across industries. This event has served as a platform for more than a century, showcasing the contributions of labor unions while spotlighting the ongoing fight for workers' rights.

Howard Neal has organized readings of the Declaration of Independence for over 20 years, encouraging community participation by allowing everyone to read a part of it.

The festivities come days after the tenth anniversary of the Supreme Court's landmark June 26, 2015, ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges that recognized same-sex marriage nationwide.
