Gay Pride Festival

Brisbane Pride Festival started in 1990 as a means of organising and promoting public events and activities that contribute to queer culture. Pride is now the state's largest and the country's third largest Gay and Lesbian event, attracting more than 50 000 Festival-goers over a three week period in the clear and sunny winter months of June/July each year.

The Festival is a celebration of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender culture through the arts, sporting, community and political events. The Pride Festival aims to bring lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender people of Brisbane together. In the process, the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community unites - and through the media, advertising and public visibility, their profile within the wider community grows.
