Last year, the biggest Pride flag in the state of Pennsylvania, a 400-foot long rainbow flag, was unfurled at Pride Festival. This year, the organizers are taking the record higher by another 200 feet. As reported by PhillyVoice, a 600-foot banner called the “Progress Pride Flag” will be unveiled on May 30 — the first day of Pride Festival weekend. The flag, on display throughout the weekend, will travel from the Philadelphia Museum of Art steps to Gayborhood.
