Pride PH Festival is a pride parade and festival event in Quezon City, Philippines.
History[edit]
Pride PH Festival is organized by Pride PH, a network of LGBT organizations, in partnership with the local government of Quezon City (QC).[1][2] During its launching, an estimate of 5,000 participants marched from the North Avenue gate of the Quezon Memorial Circle.[3] The whole event was attended by 25,000 people.[4]
Like the first Pride PH Festival, the 2nd edition was once again held in Quezon City.[5][6] In the 2023 Pride PH Festival, the local government unit of QC launched the Right to Care card, a healthcare proxy card for LGBT couples. The event was dubbed as the "Largest Pride March in Southeast Asia" after setting an attendance record of 110,752.[7][8]
The third edition in 2024, was attended by 200,000 people. The concert in the evening was paused midway at 6:30 PM (PHT) due to inclement weather, and was later cancelled, with G22, Bini and Vice Ganda supposed to perform.[9][10][11]
