The LGBT community is being celebrated in Philadelphia on June 18 with the Philly Pride parade and festival.

The event is back for its 28th year and brings in around 25,000 people. The festival includes food, music, and dancing.

The parade kicks off at 11:30 a.m. at 13th and Locust streets before making its way down Locust St., up 7th St. and down Market St. to Penn's Landing, with performances along the way. The festival itself kicks off at noon, but the parade isn't expected to arrive at the location until 1 p.m.

Fans of "Will and Grace" will no doubt recognize the headliner of Philly Pride.

Megan Mullally is headlining the festival with her musical group Nancy and Beth. Mullally is famous for playing the eccentric Karen on the popular sitcom. Nancy and Beth is an alternative country duo made up of Mullally and and "Friday Night Lights" actress Stephanie Hunt.

Admission to the festival is $15, but those hoping to save can score tickets for $10 by buying them at the Pride kick-off party on June 16. The kick-off block party runs from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m. at 12th and Locust streets.

Those attending Philly Pride Festival should expect large crowds to get into the area. Avoid bringing backpacks and other bags to help you get into the festival quicker.

The festival was originally slated to occur on June 11, but was rescheduled after the Washington D.C. National Pride March announced it would be held on that same date.

DETAILS: 11:30 a.m. parade start, noon festival gates open on June 18. Parade starts at 13th and Locust streets. Festival is held at The Great Plaza at Penn's Landing, 101 S. Christopher Columbus Blvd., Philadelphia. Cost: Free for parade, $15 for festival. Phillygaypride.org
