More details
On Sunday, June 7, 2026, Philly Pride 365 hosts the Philly Pride March & Festival, and for 2026 it moves to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway. The march is a free, vehicle-free procession that steps off at 11 AM in the Gayborhood and makes its way to the Parkway. The festival follows from noon to 7 PM, stretching from 21st Street to Eakins Oval, with three stages of live entertainment, hundreds of vendors, food trucks, beer gardens, and a maker's market. For families, the centerpiece is the Family Zone, run by Philadelphia Family Pride: a place to rest, recharge, and change a diaper, with drag story time, arts and crafts, face painting, balloon art, and a bouncy castle, plus a sober and sensory-friendly area for kids who need a quieter moment. Festival admission is a $10 wristband (with an optional $10 community ticket to sponsor someone else's entry), and free tickets are available through community partners including Galaei, The Attic Youth Center, Mazzoni Center, and Philly AIDS Thrift. This year's theme is Pride is Power.
