A typical Christopher Street Day Parade includes floats as well as walking groups usually provided by and made up of members of LGBT organizations, but is increasingly used also as a platform for political campaigning and commercial advertising as floats by political parties and commercially sponsored trucks are becoming more common. It is also typical to see many drag queens or women and men (mostly the latter) scantily dressed. The parade is usually quite joyous and has a rather upbeat and exciting energy to it.
After the parade a festival with a stage for political speakers and entertainers commences.

ChristopherStreet is a street in New York's West Village that was at the center of the gay rights movement in the late 1970s.
To this day the street serves as a symbol of gay pride.
ChristopherStreet was the site of the Stonewall Inn, the bar whose patrons started the 1969 Stonewall riots that are widely seen as the birth of the gay liberation movement.
