NEW YORK CITY — A new festival is set to take place in July, a month after this June's Gay Pride festival: the Disability Pride NYC Parade.
On July 12, 2015 the Disability Pride NYC Parade will take place from Madison Square Park and proceed down Broadway to Union Square Park. Formation starts at 10:00 am. The Parade begins at 12 noon.
The day will be a celebration of people with disabilities and all they have accomplished both prior to the passage of the ADA 25 years ago and all the civil rights activity that lead up to it.
The parade will end at Union Square Park where the celebration will culminate with entertainment.
Parade organizers say, "We look forward to a great celebration with musicians, elected officials, celebrities and people from all over the city and the world."

The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990. The ADA is a civil rights law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, transportation, and all public and private places that are open to the general public. The purpose of the law is to make sure that people with disabilities have the same rights and opportunities as everyone else. This year marks the 25th anniversary of the signing of the ADA.
