America’s largest National Coming Out Day festival returns to Philly — three days of parades, parties, and community across the Gayborhood and beyond.
OURfest is the first festival and parade in the United States envisioned to commemorate National Coming Out Day — and it happens right here in Philadelphia every October.
Three days of celebration honoring the LGBT+ community’s journeys, resilience, and radiance. Anchored by a parade through the Gayborhood, a free festival, resource fair, and dozens of independent events across the weekend.
