Like an old fashioned block party, only better and gayer!
Outfest Festival
OutFest History: OUTFEST is the largest National Coming Out Day (NCOD) event in the world. The idea for a NCOD grew from the second march on Washington for gay and lesbian equality on October 11, 1987. The idea quickly took hold in the LGBT community, spawning celebrations in numerous cities around the country. Philadelphia and Philly Pride was one of the first cities to organize around NCOD on a large scale by creating a block party to showcase the many facets of our community in 1990. Our event quickly grew into what the greater Philadelphia region now uniquely celebrates as “OutFest.” Held the Sunday prior to Columbus Day every October, OutFest attracts nearly 40,000 people.
