A month-long celebration of queer creativity and culture

A cornerstone of Sydney's Pride Month calendar, Pride Fest offers a month of dazzling works and moving stories that celebrate the astounding talent of the LGBTQIA+ community.

Pride Fest enters its second year with an incredible 150 events in 30 days, showcasing the work of over 400 artists. this June promises to be an epic month of entertainment, conversation and most importantly community.

Since last year’s festival, I’ve had the wonderful opportunity to travel across Australia- and to Edinburgh-in search of acts that are making waves across the festival scene. To now welcome so many of those standout artists to Sydney for pride Fest, and into Qtopia Sydney family, is a great honour. Thank you to each of the artists that have come to tell stories_ I hope you feel that Qtopia Sydney is your home now.
