Pride March
An ode to the 1960s Annual Reminders, the Philly Pride Rally calls the LGBTQ+ society and its allies to take to the streets in the spirit of LGBTQ+ visibility and solidarity.
Kicking off at 10:30 a.m. near 6th & Walnut streets, this community rally begins with speeches, harmony and a land acknowledgement from the Lenape Tribe, before winding from Antique City to the Event Festival-grounds.
The vehicle-free procession features hundreds of LGBTQ+ collective members, groups, leaders and allies marching side-by-side, with Philly Pride’s ever-expanding rainbow flag — now the largest in Philly history at an impressive 600 feet — making appearances along the way.
