Quezon City Pride Festival

The Quezon City Pride Festival, put on every year by Pride PH, draws over 100,000 people. It's one of Southeast Asia's biggest Pride events. More than just a party, it's a loud demand to stop discrimination and hate against LGBTQIA+ people.

The festival runs all day, with three main parts: a Pride Expo, a Pride March, and Pride Night. The Pride Expo opens at 10 AM. You'll find LGBTQIA+ vendors there, plus food stalls, NGOs, health screenings, and corporate sponsors. The Pride March usually starts at 3 PM. People gather at the Amphitheatre, Circle of Fun, and Picnic Pavilion, then march through Quezon Memorial Circle and the streets around it.

Pride Night starts at 6 PM. Expect live performances, guest DJs, and drag acts, all ending with fireworks. Quezon City has a strong LGBTQ+ scene, especially around Tomas Morato and Timog Avenue. That's where you'll find plenty of nightlife.
