The Philly Pride March is an open and inclusive celebration, inviting all members of the LGBTQ+ community and allies to join in without the need for registration. Unlike traditional parades, this grassroots march keeps the focus on the collective spirit, activism, and unity of the marchers—meaning no floats or vehicles, just people coming together to celebrate and advocate for equality.

Before the march begins, attendees will gather for inspiring speeches, music, and community connections, setting the tone for an uplifting and powerful experience. Whether you’re marching solo, with friends and family, or alongside an organization that shares Galaei’s mission, this event is a vibrant display of resilience, pride, and solidarity as we take to the streets of Philadelphia.

🌟 Join us and be part of history! 🌈✨
