The event is designed to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality in Victoria.Īcknowledging the courage and resilience of Victoria’s LGBTQIA+ community, the incredible one-day festival will honour the historical occasion with a celebration of community, featuring a stellar collection of live performances, music, circus, keynote speakers, activities, community stalls and interactive demonstrations. Melbourne Pride is a State Government initiative, delivered by festival partner Midsumma (of course!). In a contemporary exploration of festivities, we will embark on a journey of equality through inspirational arts, community involvement, food, and culture. Melbourne Pride will celebrate with live performances, music, circus, interactive activities, community stalls and demonstrations. To commemorate this anniversary, we acknowledge the courage and resilience of our LGBTQIA+ community.
Melbourne Pride will be held on Sunday 13 February, 11am-9pm, one week after the annual Midsumma Pride March.
