3 Pride events you can’t miss this weekend in Philly

June is right around the corner, and so is the energetic March and Festival in Philadelphia. To fully celebrate this weekend however, here are three other Pride events to check out in the city.

Philadelphia Fashion District

On June 1, from noon to 4 p.m., locals can head to the Fashion District for a mix of new events aimed to show off the city’s Pride. Highlights span a Pride Parade through The District led by the Sixers Stixers drumline, a voguing and catwalk contest (for ages 5 to 17 with a $500 prize), and a Panel Discussion featuring prominent community members and organization representatives.

Some Fashion District’s retailers will also don their own Pride displays and specials to celebrate the occasion—including an art installation titled “Rainbow Rooms” by Pierre le Riche in Wonderspaces, a new product at Torrid and Ulta, and much more.
