The Gayborhood

The center of Philadelphia's gay residential life and culture since World War II, the blocks between 11th and Broad streets and Pine and Chestnut streets earned their nickname — the “Gayborhood”— during an October Outfest event in 1995.

Immediately following the march, the Pride Festival kicks off in the Gayborhood — centered around 13th and Locust streets — from noon to 7 p.m. During the festivities, over 200 attractions line the streets including artists, entertainers, food trucks, local bars, community organizations and vendors.

The city of Philadelphia is aptly named. Its name was given to it by the founder of Pennsylvania, William Penn, to mean brotherly love. It comes from the Greek words philos meaning "loving", and adelphos meaning "brother". The city embraces this name and applies it to everything it does.
