From massive marches to queer raves, fun runs, and community festivals, here are the pride events worth adding to your calendar.
Pride Month is entering its final stretch, but Metro Manila still has plenty of ways to celebrate, protest, create, and take up space. Whether you’re looking for a low-pressure community event or a full-day festival experience, here are some Pride happenings worth checking out from June 21 onwards.
- RunRIO Pride Run 2026
Who said Pride can’t come with cardio? This year’s RunRIO Pride Run returns to the SM Mall of Asia Complex under the theme “Move with Love,” featuring race categories ranging from 1K to 16K—including a dog run for fur parents. Expect costumes, community, and an after-party waiting at the finish line.
- White Party Manila: Reignite
If your Pride plans involve serving a look, White Party Manila is once again bringing one of the country’s biggest queer nightlife celebrations to the World Trade Center. Under the theme “Reignite,” expect live performances, immersive experiences, and a sea of all-white outfits.
- Metro Manila Pride March 2026
After a two-year hiatus, Metro Manila Pride is finally reclaiming the streets. This year’s march carries the theme “Bukas, Atin. Atin ang Kasaysayan. Atin ang Bukas,” gathering the community once more at Remedios Circle in Malate for a day of visibility, solidarity, and collective action.
- Love Laban Pride Festival 2026
Part protest, part reunion, part cultural celebration, Love Laban remains one of the largest Pride gatherings in Southeast Asia. Taking over the grounds of UP Diliman, the free festival continues its tradition of blending advocacy, performances, and community-building into one massive Pride experience.
- South Pride BF Homes
Not all Pride celebrations happen in the usual venues. South Pride BF Homes offers a more community-driven celebration for LGBTQIA+ individuals and allies in the south, proving that Pride isn’t confined to one city or one stage.
- Bears Bears Bars Pride Parade Afterparty
If you’re not ready to call it a night after the marches and festivals, this charity afterparty keeps the energy going. Beyond the music and celebration, proceeds also support organizations such as the Golden Gays and Golden Bekis, making it a Pride event with a cause attached.
Pride may be celebrated in June, but its message has never been confined to a single month. Whether you’re marching, dancing, running, or simply showing up, every event is another reminder that visibility remains both a celebration and a form of resistance.
