Weβre excited to welcome everyone back for another vibrant Pride Swan Festival, bringing together our diverse community for a day of pride, connection, inclusion, celebration and belonging.
Last yearβs festival attracted more than 2,000 people, creating an amazing atmosphere where people of all ages, identities, cultures and backgrounds came together to celebrate, connect and simply be themselves. This year, weβre looking forward to making the festival even more colourful and welcoming, with live entertainment, inspiring performances, community stalls, kidsβ activities, delicious food and plenty of opportunities to connect.
Pride is about celebration, but it is also about creating spaces where everyone can feel seen, respected, safe, valued and proud of who they are. Bring your family, friends and chosen family and join us for a beautiful day of community, colour, connection and Pride.
Every identity. Every expression. Every one of us.
Expression of Interests for stallholders is now open.
