But, as recently as 2018, the Pride Parade and related Pride Week events were estimated to pack a multimillion-dollar economic impact to Greater Boston. "It sounds like we're a little ways away from having an organization wholly set up to be able to take on the scale of preparation and logistics and all that requires, but there will be many celebrations this summer, and I stand with the organizations wanting to make sure that the foundation is strong before rushing into any event," said Wu, who recently announced a new city Office of LGBTQ+ Advancement to safeguard LGBTQ rights.īoston doesn't officially track estimates about the economic impact of events like parades, according to the mayor’s office. It also leaves some in Boston struggling to mark Pride without a centralized non-profit behind which to rally and organize. The absence of the parade comes as Mayor Michelle Wu seeks to brand the city as emerging from the pandemic.
