On Sunday, tens of thousands of Philadelphians flooded the city streets to celebrate Love, Light and Liberation at the Philadelphia Pride March and Festival. The full-day event began with a march at 6th and Walnut streets, and debuted the largest rainbow flag in Philadelphia history. The festival included local performers, entertainers, artists, vendors, food trucks, community organizations and above all else—love.
“We’ve coordinated this effort with much care around pride’s more profound meaning and intention,” said Galaei Executive Director and Community Organizer Tyrell Brown (they/he) in a statement. “Pride is many things; we wish to lift up and celebrate it as both a gathering of extended LGBTQ+ friends and family in the community, as well as grounding the event as a resource fair that uplifts and directly supports the most marginalized members of the QTBIPOC community.”
