3pm @ Kahn Park
11th & Pine Streets
Philadelphia, PA 19107
Philly dykes are taking over Philly streets and all self-identified dykes are invited to come march with us. We welcome our allies to cheer us alongside the march route and to join us at the pre- and post- march rallies as we celebrate the artistry of self-identified dykes in our community on the Philadelphia Dyke March stage.
Be seen. Be heard. Bring your bike, your friends, your kid, signs, banners, costumes, drums, whistles, water, but most importantly just bring yourself! Water ice will be provided by our good friends, The Radical Faeries! Don’t forget to download lyrics to the rally chants or drum music for the march.
