Information to 2024 Philly Delight March & Pageant

2024 Highlights

Marking 52 years since Philadelphia’s first Homosexual Delight Parade, the 2024 Delight March and Pageant celebrates pleasure, neighborhood areas and the way far we’ve include this yr’s theme: “Be You.”

March

This yr, Philly Delight commences with a march departing from sixth and Walnut streets at 10:30 a.m. and ending within the Gayborhood.

An ode to the Sixties Reminder Day demonstrations, the march begins with speeches and a ceremony unfurling this yr’s 400-foot-long rainbow flag — the most important in Philadelphia historical past.

This vehicle-free neighborhood march is open to anybody (allies included) and no registration is required.

Pageant

Instantly following the march, the Delight Pageant kicks off within the Gayborhood — centered round thirteenth and Locust streets — from midday to 7 p.m. Throughout the festivities, over 200 points of interest line the streets together with artists, entertainers, meals vans, native bars, neighborhood organizations and distributors.

Pageant highlights embrace:

• Bailar con Amor, a bit celebrating the queer Latino neighborhood, Afro-Latino tradition, artwork and expression
• Kiki Alley, which celebrates the wealthy tradition and historical past of the Philly ballroom neighborhood
• a POP Wellness Zone, providing medical providers, neighborhood sources and actions, and
• the Decompression Zone for attendees in want of a cushty, low-volume and accessible place to have a good time, which incorporates seating, grownup altering rooms, accessible bogs, wheelchair charging docks and cooling stations for attendees to loosen up and hydrate.
