Philadelphia Rainbow Crosswalk

Philadelphia Rainbow Crosswalk

Heritage · Philadelphia, PA

About

This isn't a bar or a club. It's a rainbow crosswalk at 13th and Locust streets, a permanent piece of public art in Philadelphia's Gayborhood. Painted to visibly support the city's LGBTQ+ community, it's one of the most photographed spots in the city. The crosswalk adds a splash of color to the streetscape and serves as a symbol of pride and inclusion.

The crosswalk is free to view and accessible any time. It's a quick stop best combined with a walk through the Gayborhood. If you're exploring nearby, the Arch Street Meeting House offers another piece of Philadelphia history just a short walk away.
