Scenes from the annual Dyke March in Washington Square Park

The annual Dyke March took place yesterday afternoon, with thousands of participants making their way from Bryant Park to Washington Square Park.

The first New York City Dyke March was held in June 1993 as a grassroots demonstration celebrating lesbian visibility and activism. The event remains volunteer-run and emphasizes protest, community and LGBTQ+ solidarity. 

Here are a few scenes from the early evening from Washington Square Park, where the march concluded.
