Philly Pride 2026: March and festival information, road closures and more
Philadelphia will put its pride on display at the annual Philly Pride March and Festival on Sunday, June 7.
This year's celebration is moving to the Benjamin Franklin Parkway from Old City and the Gayborhood to accommodate larger crowds, and will be a ticketed event, unlike last year's festival.
General admission tickets are $10 and go toward the cost of producing the festival, "including infrastructure, safety, accessibility, staffing, insurance, and coordination with the City of Philadelphia," according to event organizers.
The Pride March is free to join.
