Philadelphia's Pride March and Festival is here: In 2025, the city will celebrate Pride Month on its first day — Sunday, June 1.

We already know the Pride weekend festivities will include the largest Progress Pride flag in the U.S., measuring 600 feet long. That's longer than a Center City block! 

Within the Pride Festival, there will be several different themed spaces including a sober area, a family-friendly space with drag story time, and places to watch performers and have drinks.

There will also be several road closures around Center City to keep vehicles away from the festival and march route.
