Pride NYC, would it be okay to bring a small cooler down to the march on Sunday?

Couldn't find specifics on the official pride website. I'm sure officially there's no outside beverages allowed, but I'm wondering if people have been hassled in the past about it. Thanks!

Unless you’re in some sort of special viewing area, or are marching yourself, there is no screening. You can bring whatever you want

no, they are really really strict. nothing allowed in, not even clothing, parade goers have to parade almost naked.

The parade route is lined with countless tens of thousands of people many of which set up chairs or whatever in advance.

It’s not like you’re going into a theme park where they search your bags.

How would "no outside beverages" be a thing when you are outside on a public street?

Are you actually marching? Your organization might have rules.

If not, just don't be a douche. It's going to be super crowded, carrying a big, hard-sided cooler will be difficult to navigate with. Sticking a few bottles of water in a soft bag is fine.

Only inside beverages are allowed outside

Are you asking about water/soda/etc?

It’s very easy to openly drink during the parade but honestly having a cooler will be a pain in the ass. The parade is pretty damn crowded
