Queerly Beloved

Join us for Queerly Beloved, a radiant and soul-stirring evening dedicated to love, artistry, and community. This vibrant showcase marks the official kickoff to the 2025 Philadelphia Black Gay Pride Weekend, celebrating the beauty, brilliance, and resilience of Black queer artists in Philadelphia and beyond. Hosted by Emmy-nominated artist Julian King, the evening will feature powerful performances by some of the most gifted Black queer artists in the region, as well as heartfelt words from the Executive Director of the Recording Academy Philadelphia Chapter. Together, we will honor and reclaim sacred space — uplifting queer expression through music, storytelling, comedy and shared joy. Presented in partnership with Rec Philly, powered by Philadelphia Black Pride and sponsored by Summer House Institute, Queerly Beloved promises to be an unforgettable celebration of Blackness, queerness, and the art that brings us together. Come feel the love. Come see the art. Come be celebrated. More Info below.
