What is Melbourne Pride Festival 2021

Did you know 2021 marks 40 years since the Victorian parliament decriminalised homosexuality in Victoria?

As the anniversary approaches, we take the opportunity to acknowledge the courage and resilience of our LGBTQIA community, with a once-off celebration currently in planning by the State Government. We are thrilled that Midsumma has been asked to facilitate community consultation to develop ideas for content for Melbourne Pride 2021 and help make sure this statewide celebration is one we all want to be a part of!

In a contemporary exploration of festivities, Melbourne Pride 2021 will embark on a journey of equality through inspirational arts, community involvement, food, and culture. With the streets of Fitzroy coming alive as we celebrate the history and build on the momentum for equality.

The celebration will be an inspirational show of Pride and a reflection of 40 years “road to Pride”.

Which gets us asking, what does Pride mean to you?
