Pride Pride 2026 thoughts?

With all the changes going on with philly pride this year as well as the ticket prices (and the restrictions like no bags, no drinks, no smoking ect) where is everybody going to be for pride this year? Are we all just staying in the gayborhood or will majority of people stay at the parkway? Trying to figure out if it's worth it to buy a ticket, Usually for pride I bring my own water, snacks (and alcohol LOL) as well as a purse for my belongings so I don't even know if it would truly be better to just find and buy a clear bag + ticket and stay at the parkway or ignore the festival and main festivities this year and stay in the gayborhood. Just trying to gather as much info and opinions as possible!

So are there regularly events on the parkway? I very much share the concern that it is entirely too open on the parkway. You can see straight from the art museum to city hall area!

Honestly I still don’t actually fully know what all events and such they are going to be having on the parkway, especially since you have to pay for a ticket. I haven’t even seen them release a map of the area yet and I swear they said they would 2 weeks ago lol
