June in Philadelphia promises a vibrant assortment of events catering to diverse interests. From festivals to cultural celebrations, June is always an awesome to attend some events! Here’s a roundup of some standout activities and festivals you can look forward to:
2024 "Be You" Pride March and Festival
Sunday, June 2, 2024 | 10:30 a.m. to 7 p.m.
The march is an open invitation to the LGBTQ+ community and allies, with no registration needed. The march is an ode to The Reminder Day Demonstrations that were held in front of Independence Hall on Chestnut Street from 1965 until 1969 to raise awareness of bigotry, prejudice, and discrimination toward the LGBTQ+ community. The 1972 Pride Day March concluded at the same spot 50 years ago.
The march will kick-off with speeches from community leaders and guests and a land acknowledgment from the Lenape Tribe. Then, the march will proceed to the festival. The festival runs from 12:00pm to 7:00pm, and will spread out across the Gayborhood from Walnut to Cypress streets, and Quince to Juniper streets, with other select roads closed around the festival footprint. The festival will feature over 200 small businesses that Philly Pride 365 has employed an equitable funding model to procure. In addition there will be stages with local performers, entertainers, artists, vendors, food trucks, community organizations, and local bars.
Where: March departs from 6th and Walnut and ends in the Gayborhood, where the festival will take place.
