Pride in the Village 2024: All You Need to Know
The Village is the heart of New York’s storied LGBTQIA history, a point of pride we’ve dove into in previous years. This year, we’re jumping ahead to the present, where we’re celebrating the 55th anniversary of the Stonewall Uprising and the 54th anniversary of New York City’s Pride March, which runs right along 8th Street this year.
However you plan on joining the party, Village Alliance is here to make your Pride as effortless as possible—enjoy this roundup of the businesses along the route we know you’ll love, along with the event details you need to make sure you don’t miss any of the fun.
A Few Options on the Route:
8th Street Wine Cellar

Escape the summer heat in their cool cellar, or take in the festivity of the open street from a sidewalk seat—however you prefer, 8th Street Wine Cellar is a sure bet when it comes to consistently friendly service paired with exceptional wines, cocktails, beer and food.
Stumptown Coffee
⟟ 30 W. 8th Street
If you’re making the most of your Pride, there’s a strong chance you’ll be in need of some energy and refreshment as the day goes on. We highly recommend Stumptown to take care of both, with excellent iced coffee, cold brew, and plenty of other options to keep you going all day long.
