Organized by Philly Pride 365, the festival aims to honor the city’s LGBTQ+ history while embracing its future. The Gayborhood, a traditional hub for Pride events, will still host programming and partnerships throughout Pride Week.

Tickets for the festival are priced at $10, with community partnerships offering free access to some attendees. Applications for sponsors, vendors, volunteers, and performers are currently open, ensuring a diverse and inclusive lineup.

This year’s festival also coincides with America’s 250th anniversary celebrations, making it a landmark event for both the LGBTQ+ community and the city of Philadelphia.
