Free the nipple during Go Topless Day when thousands of New Yorkers show support for gender equality.
A ll those who support gender equality are welcome to free the nipple and proudly march through Manhattan for the Go Topless Parade 2022! If you didn’t already know, it’s 100% legal to roam around New York topless (yes, even out in the open at the best NYC parks ), so unhinge your bra, take your top off and fight the patriarchy during one of the best and most scantily-clad NYC events in August .
Go Topless Day encourages women (and the fellas!) to proudly bare their chests and march through Manhattan while showing their support for gender equality. NYC legally allows women to be topless and has since 1992, but for full safety, police will block off the parade route. For more information, check out the official Go Topless Day website .
Go Topless Day is on Sunday, August 21, 2022.
The parade kicks off from Columbus Circle at noon on August 21, 2022.
The Go Topless Day parade marches from Columbus Circle (58th St. between 8th and 9th Ave) down to Bryant Park, where it will arrive at 2pm.
Anything! Some participants like to paint patterns or text on their bare chests, or do it up with jewelry and studs. But you can feel free to show up bare on top and hang with the community.
Be sure to check our Go Topless Day guide for details and the Go Topless Facebook page for updates.
We rounded up four ways you can join forces with other women to #freethenipple
Strip down to your birthday suit and enjoy these nude (or scantily-clad) happenings around New York

This Sunday, don’t be surprised to run into topless women in certain cities across the US and abroad.
That’s because Aug. 28 is known as Go Topless Day, where women bare their breasts in public to point out inequality in the law and in social mores.
The annual event, which occurs on the Sunday closest to Women’s Equality Day (which is Aug. 26 and marks day women were given the right to vote in 1920), was started in 2007.
Women bare their breasts for a cause: some states in the US and countries around the world have outlawed women going topless, while it remains legal for men. Men often attend rallies, and don bras and swimsuit tops to help point out the inequity.
In past years, thousands of protesters have held rallies in cities like Albuquerque, N.M., Amsterdam, Vancouver, and Tulsa, Okla. Another movement, called Free the Nipple, has a similar agenda.
In the US, three states, Utah, Indiana, and Tennessee, outright ban toplessness, while laws in 14 other states are murky on the topic.
Celebrities like Chelsea Handler and Miley Cyrus have done their part to promote the double-standard, particularly on social media, where platforms like Instagram don’t allow photos of completely bare breasts. Handler’s account has been shut down a few times, and she often posts pictures of herself with just her nipples covered to skirt the issue while still making a point. She even posted a picture of herself topless on top of Twitter’s NYC building.

The origins of Go Topless Day, however, are somewhat questionable. The organization which started the day is a nonprofit located in Nevada. It was founded by former French auto-racing journalist Claude Vorilhon, who is now known as Rael. He is the spiritual leader of a Realian Movement, which is a religion based on the belief of UFOs. This is not exactly where you expect an feminist movement to be born from.
A Vice reporter attended a Raelian cult protest in Montreal in 2014, and from her story, it was hard to see where the religious cult ended and the feminist protest began.
That said, Go Topless Day has grown beyond its UFO-religious cult roots, and now serves as an inspiring and empowering moment for women around the world to stand up against misogynist laws.

Coinciding with Women’s Equality Day (August 26), New York City saw the return of the tenth annual Go Topless Day Parade.
The event was organized by GoTopless , an organization founded in 2007, attempts to defend women’s constitutional right to be as publicly bare-chested as men. Rael, founder of GoTopless.org has this to say:
“As long as men are allowed to be topless in public, women should have the same constitutional right. Or else, men should have to wear something to hide their chests”
Being topless in public has been legal in New York City since 1992. This event is a celebration of that law.
The Parade took place on Saturday in Manhattan, co ordinating with similar parades in Los Angeles and in dozens of cities around the world.
The movement grew in popularity and note following the #FreeTheNipple campaign, which grew as a reaction to social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram prohibiting any and all “graphic content” that pictures a woman’s areola. Later a movie “Free the Nipple” catapulted the movement into the public zeitgeist with and celebrity support from Scout Willis, Rihanna, Miley Cyrus, Lady Gaga, Iggy Azalea, Sarah Silverman and Chelsea Handler.
Saturday’s parade was a colorful celebration of body-equality, here are some images and videos from the event:
