History

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]
