Philadelphia Dyke March

04/13/2026

There’s no mistaking the sound.

Before the chants rise.�
Before the signs lift.
�Before hundreds of d***s, allies, friends, and community members flood the streets of Philadelphia…

you hear the wheels.

The rumble of motorcycles, scooters, bikes, and every kind of ride rolling through the Gayborhood is more than a tradition, it is a declaration of power, visibility, rebellion, and pride.

D**es on Bikes lead the Philadelphia D**e March.

�Every year, riders take the front of the march, setting the tone with pure adrenaline, fierce joy, and unapologetic d**e energy. It is one of the most electrifying moments of the day and a living symbol of our strength, resistance, and freedom.

For 2026, as we march under the theme “This Is What Democracy Looks Like”, there is no better way to open the streets than with the roar, hum, and roll of our riders leading the way.

Want to join us? Head to the Philly D**e March website (Get Involved > D**es on Bikes) and sign up!

Philly D**e March recognizes that our Trans+ family is such a deeply integral part of our larger community who deserve equal rights, representation and treatment.

In the face of an exponentially growing number of anti-trans legislation in statehouses across the country, with new lows of dehumanizing bills passing, and the laser focus of the current federal regime on trans people.

This year’s International Day of Transgender Visibility could not be more important. The goal is trans erasure, and d***s will always stand up for our trans siblings. We continue to work towards advocating for equality for all while celebrating Trans Lives & Joy 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Philly D**e March will be joining & other coalition members for a GOOD FRIDAY COUNTER ACTION
April 3, 2026.
8am @ Planned Parenthood.
12th and Locust. Bring a friend!

Good Friday is the final day of a 40-day long anti-choice effort, which culminates in an event in Center City Philadelphia. Last year, the Coalition successfully COUNTERED this very strange event and this year PDM is happy to join in coalition, and we'd love to see every d**e who can make it come, standing up for bodily autonomy.

Can't make 8am exactly? Come at 9am. We'll be there. Wear a PDM shirt if you have one. Want to show support in other ways? Visit and check out the info for "Pledge a Picket" -- donate to an abortion fund in proportion to how many anti-choice protesters show up.

We'll see you Friday.

Accessibility: This is an event on a public street, masking is optional but encouraged. This action will involve long periods of standing, which may not be appropriate for all. However, anyone interested in participating is encouraged to come for the amount of time that makes sense for them, being true to their own limits.

We want to take a moment to thank our platinum sponsors for Mr. Philly Drag King 2025.

Mr. PDK is the largest annual fundraiser for the Philly D**e March but — putting on a show of this caliber comes with a production cost. Sponsors help cover that cost so that the event can focus on raising funds for the all-volunteer run Philly D**e March!

Thanks so much to and (venue sponsor) for stepping up to support our community!
