Peoplehood Parade & Pageant

November 9 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm

Paul Robeson House

4951 Walnut Street
Philadelphia, PA 19139 United States

Spiral Q Peoplehood Parade 2024

TO SOAR INSTEAD THROUGH CITY STREETS

The Peoplehood Parade joyfully lifts up PEOPLE, especially the everyday Philadelphians working toward collective liberation.

Activists, neighbors, and youth come together each Fall to build Peoplehood’s giant puppets, banners, and performances that celebrate Philly’s justice movements and nurture community connections.

JOIN IN

Peoplehood is more than just a day – it is an inclusive artistic process with multiple points of entry. Find one (or more) ways to join in the creation or production from planning, brainstorming, organizing, fundraising, donating, building, painting, setting up, packing trucks, promoting, playing music, dancing – whatever your interest, we’ve got the role(s) for you.

We welcome your organization, coalition, group and/or cause to join us in this year’s parade in a bold and powerful way!

MOVE IN THE PARADE

  • March with us, walk with us, roll through the streets with us! Wheelchairs, bicycles and strollers are welcome (but motorized vehicles are not. We are people-powered).
  • Bring your own banners, signs and artwork, or create something new!
  • You can choose to join a Spiral Q art section! — or you can appear with your own expressions and messages.
  • The parade will culminate in Clark Park with a series of participatory art-making activities in honor of our theme. Contact us if you’d like to lead an activity or “table” for your organization in the park!
