What We Do and How You Can Participate
The Planning Committee
The NYC Dyke March happens every year on the last Saturday of June (read more about our history here). We are entirely run by self-identified dykes who volunteer anywhere from dozens to hundreds of hours every year to make Dyke March happen, and to support causes that matter to dykes.
Marshals
Every year, hundreds of dykes volunteer to marshal. Marshals are the backbone of the march. Marshal roles include everything from blocking traffic, keeping the march moving, assisting with wheelchairs, and more! To be a marshal you will need to attend a training. In the summer, we will host a thank you celebration for all our marshals.
BECOME A MARSHAL
Keep the march moving, block traffic, ask for donations, have fun, meet other dykes, and get a free dyke march t-shirt!
to be updated for 2026!
Sign up for a wheelchair
Free wheelchairs are available for any duration of the march. Wheelchairs can be pushed by friends, lovers, or one of our superstar accessibility marshals.

DONATE TO OUR CAUSE
We are run by volunteers and rely entirely on community donations. Once we meet our expenses, the rest goes to a nonprofit or movement we support!
