How many days until Pride Month?
A live countdown to June 1, the start of Pride Month.
Pride Month, June 1 to 30
Pride Month is celebrated every June to honor LGBTQ+ people, their history and their communities. It runs for the whole month, from June 1 to June 30, in the United States and many other countries.
June was chosen in memory of the Stonewall uprising in New York City, which began on June 28, 1969, and is widely seen as a turning point for LGBTQ+ rights.
How the date is set
The month itself never moves: Pride Month always starts on June 1 and ends on June 30. Local Pride events are different. Parades, marches and festivals are set by each city, so they fall on different days, often a weekend in June, and some cities hold Pride in another month. For the dates where you live, check your local Pride organization, then count down to your parade with the date countdown calculator.
How the countdown works
Before June, the page counts down to midnight at the start of June 1 in your device’s time zone. Choose a unit under the counter to see the time left in weeks, days only, hours, minutes or seconds.
During June it shows which day of the month it is, from day 1 to day 30, and how long is left until the month ends. From July 1 it counts down to the next Pride Month.

Marking Pride Month
People mark the month in many ways: joining a local parade or festival, supporting LGBTQ+ community groups, reading about the history of the movement, or simply showing up for friends and family. Many workplaces, schools, libraries and museums hold events through June.
The best-known symbol of Pride is the rainbow flag, first flown in San Francisco in 1978. Its colors stand for the diversity of the community, and newer versions of the flag add stripes to include more people.
June is a full month in other ways too: in the Northern Hemisphere it brings the summer solstice, and in the US it also has Father’s Day.
