Break out the rainbow fits because Pride Month is here! Whether you’re looking to celebrate in the company of fellow advocates or just want to show your support for queer-owned businesses, we’ve rounded up five fun, vibrant, and meaningful ways to join the festivities this year.
Spread love and joy this Pride Month at these five LGBTQIA+ events and places:
1. Love Laban sa Diliman
Organized by Pride PH and backed by the Quezon City government, Love Laban is Southeast Asia’s largest Pride gathering, with past editions drawing crowds of over 100,000. While last year’s celebration was cut short by rain, 2025 brings a fresh start as the event heads to UP Diliman on June 28. Here’s hoping for sunshine
2. Basta Café
If you’ve seen clips of “Battle of the Brainy” on your FYP, chances are you’ve already gotten a taste of Basta Café’s viral Pinoy pop culture quiz night. This Pride Month, Basta Café is turning up the energy with special events that includes a SOGIE Talk, film screenings of LGBTQIA+ films, comedy nights, and of course, a Pride edition of their beloved trivia night. If big parades aren’t your thing, chilling out with your friends at this café is a good alternative.
3. Drag Bars
For a night of glitter, glamour, and unapologetic joy, nothing beats the electric vibe of a drag bar. Throughout June, spots like O Bar and Rampa Club are hosting show-stopping performances. Expect to see Drag Race Philippines and Drag Den alumni as well as a ton of local talented queens performing their hearts out to queer anthems all month long.
4. Queer Con LGBTQIA+ Business Expo
Celebrate diversity, identity, and creativity in business at Queer Con 2025! This event highlights LGBTQIA+ performers, owned businesses, merchants, and more. If you’re a budding “queerpreneuer,” or just looking to support others, head on over to Ayala Malls Trinoma on June 20 and 21.
5. Sunny Club PH Events
Creating safe spaces for queer and sapphic women, Sunny Club PH curates events around Metro Manila that range from book clubs and film nights to dance parties and raves. Keep an eye out on their social media pages for full details on what’s going down this Pride Month.
From parties and performances to business expos and the biggest pride event in Southeast Asia, there are many ways to let your rainbow flag fly this June. However you choose to celebrate it, we hope you have a safe and wonderful Pride Month!
