NEW YORK -- New York City's annual Pride march returns this weekend, celebrating the LGBTQ+ community around the world.

Here are some things to know before you go.

When & Where

The march steps off at 11 a.m. from 25th Street and Fifth Avenue in Manhattan.

• First Alert Weather: CBS2's 6/25 Sunday morning forecast

Who will be there

This year's grand marshals include Yasmin Benoit, AC Dumlao, Billy Porter, Randolfe "Randy" Wicker and Hope Giselle.

Why we march

The first Pride march was held in 1970, following the Stonewall Uprising of 1969. Given its political roots, organizers call the event a "march" not a "parade," saying there is more work to be done to achieve total equality.
