Ridgewood NJ, Pride Month is celebrated every June as a tribute to those who were involved in the Stonewall Riots. The original organizers chose this month to pay homage to the Stonewall uprising in June 1969 in New York City, which helped spark the modern gay rights movement. Most Pride events take place each year in June, although some cities hold their celebrations at other times of the year.
