PRIDE BLOCK PARTY
One Sunday Every June, Woody’s main stage on 13th street at Walnut anchors this incredible PRIDE event that celebrates Philadelphia’s LGBTQIA+ Community.

OUT BLOCK PARTY
This is the day when our Community reflects, remembers, and recollects on the day when each of us was liberated and made the decision to be honest with ourselves, families, friends, teachers, and employers. October was the month of “Coming Out Day” and it is more than a day to be proud, it is a daytime to celebrate life, love, and give thanks to all of those brave individuals that made our movement what it is today.

PHILLY BLACK PRIDE
Philadelphia&#;s Black Gay Pride Weekend, also known as Philly Black Pride, typically takes place in April an has, for decades, coincided with Penn Relay Weekend. Its mission is to transform the living and social environments of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender and Queer (LGBTQ) people of color.
Woody&#;s is always a proud sponsor and host of the 13th Street Dark Pride Block Party. It&#;s always a good idea to verb or for the most up-to-date information.
