This full day of celebration, community, and pride — powered by local McDonald’s Owner/Operators and featuring dozens of performers, food trucks, and local partners!
Philadelphia, PA – Philly Pride 365 proudly presents OURfest: National Coming OUT Day Parade & Festival, returning Saturday, October 12, 2025, for a full day of LGBTQIA+ visibility, celebration, and community connection throughout Center City Philadelphia. This year’s festival is made possible through the generous support of local McDonald’s Owner/Operators, who join an incredible coalition of community partners, sponsors, and neighborhood venues in uplifting Philadelphia’s vibrant LGBTQIA+ community. This year’s theme, “Out Loud, Out Front: Power, Protection & Pride,” is a clarion call for Lesbian, Gay, Bi, Trans, and Queer communities to rise together in the face of rising anti-LGBTQ+ legislation, cultural attacks and political urgency. OURfest 2025 boldly centers queer people living and loving at the intersections, where joy becomes protest, and community becomes protection. This year’s festival will include family-friendly and community-led outdoor festival that runs from 12th to 13th streets, Locust to Spruce, and beyond, with main stage, youth and healing stages, queer art, drag and music showcases, kids and family programming, food trucks, vendors, community organizations, beer and cocktail gardens, and much more. Additionally, look for a new line-up of events leading up to the big festival, including WELL YES Marketplace on October 10th and Crankshaft on October 11th. For more information on volunteering, participating, or sponsoring the festival, please visit our website, www.phillypride365.org/about-ourfest or email Pride365@PhillyPride365.org.
“OURfest is a celebration of self, solidarity, and showing up — together,” said Tyrell Brown, Founder and Executive Director of Philly Pride 365. “We’re proud to stand alongside our local McDonald’s Owner/Operators and so many others who invest in our communities year-round.
