Philly Black Pride

Visitors come from far and wide for Philly Black Pride, an annual four-day Pride event that emphasizes the strength and resilience of Philly’s community of LGBTQ+ people of color.

Held each year during the week of the historic Penn Relays, Philly Black Pride brings together between 3,000 and 5,000 people for a long weekend of celebrations and community building.

A host of citywide events center on the idea of “partying with a purpose,” uplifting the community while highlighting available services, including physical- and mental-health resources.
