Things to do in NYC in June 2022 include SummerStage, BRIC Celebrate Brooklyn, NY Puerto Rico Week and the National Puerto Rican Day Parade, the Coney Island Mermaid Parade and NYC Pride Parade.
June is NYC Pride Month. It’s also Caribbean Heritage Month and African-American Music Appreciation Month.
June is a great month to visit because the school and cultural season is winding down and summer season starts up. New York City really heads outdoors in June.
Early summer weather is warm as the school year ends and summer begins.

Celebrate African Yoruba New Year
In Mother Africa, Yoruba New Year is June 3 and Eleguá’s feast to celebrate new journeys is June 13.
This may be the reason for the many celebrations that build up to New York Puerto Rico Week and the National Puerto Rican Day Parade.
So in NYC, celebration timing matches Nigerian traditions instead of the Cuban traditions of the Caribbean. Maybe that’s one of the reasons New York has been called “the secret African city.”
