Record-breaking flag kicks off Identity festival festivities in Philadelphia
PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- The steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art became the backdrop of the big rollout of Pride Month festivities in the city. Dozens of people walked down the steps holding a Pride flag that measured hundreds of feet long.
"It celebrates inclusivity. It celebrates obviously the launch of Pride Month," said Sasha Suda, Director and CEO of Philadelphia Museum of Art.
Cascading down the Art Museum steps, the flag is America's largest Progress Pride Rainbow Flag.
"Each year for three years we add on 200 feet. Which means this year we have a total of 600 feet which amounts to a block and a half," said Philly Pride 365 Executive Producer Jeremy Williams.
Philly Celebration 365 is spearheading this year's pride celebrations with help from several groups. One of their goals was to spread the message of love and acceptance by taking the flag to more neighborhoods across the city including Manayunk where the flag flowed down Main Street.
"We wanted to do Event around the city, because it's not just about being around the Gayborhood," said Williams.

Pride March
An ode to the 1960s Annual Reminders, the Philly Pride Protest calls the LGBTQ+ society and its allies to take to the streets in the spirit of LGBTQ+ visibility and solidarity.
Kicking off at 10:30 a.m. near 6th & Walnut streets, this community protest begins with speeches, tune and a land acknowledgement from the Lenape Tribe, before winding from Ancient City to the Lgbtq+ fest Festival-grounds.
The vehicle-free procession features hundreds of LGBTQ+ society members, groups, leaders and allies marching side-by-side, with Philly Pride’s ever-expanding rainbow flag — now the largest in Philly history at an impressive 600 feet — making appearances along the way.
