New York City, in which four million people are expected to gather for Sunday's WorldPride march, saw multiple Pride events Saturday including the 38th annual Front Runners New York LGBT Pride Run, which broke the Guinness World Record for the largest pride charity run, thanks to its 10,236 participants, according to ABC 7.
LGBTQ youth and allies filled Central Park for the Youth Pride event, at which Ava Max and other performed. Just a few streets over, at Pier 97's Pride Island, Kim Petras and Amara La Negra were among those hitting the stage.
Lightning and heavy rain led the NYPD to temporary evacuate both Youth Pride and Pride Island events, which were jam packed at about 5pm. About an hour and a half later, however, Pride Island was reopened and concert goers were allowed back into the venue, where Grace Jones would be headlining later in the evening.
Millions of members of the LGBTQ community and allies around the world, from Mexico City to North Macedonia, also took to the streets Saturday, adorned in rainbow colors and glitter to celebrate the Gay Pride.
Rainbow flags and umbrellas swayed and music pounded as the march along Mexico City's Paseo de la Reforma avenue got underway, with couples, families and activists seeking to raise visibility for sexual diversity in the country.

Same-sex civil unions have been legal in Mexico City since 2007, and gay marriage since 2009. A handful of Mexican states have also legalized same-sex unions, which are supposed to be recognized nationwide. But pride participants said Mexico has a long way to go in becoming a more tolerant and accepting place for LGBTQ individuals.
'There's a lot of machismo, a lot of ignorance still,' said Monica Nochebuena, who identifies as bisexual.
