There is also a callout for the all important volunteers who bring the festival to life. Be it at Pride Fairday manning a stall or serving drinks, to marshalling the Parade and everything in between. Register your interest here.

The Pride Parade through the streets of Northbridge will be held on Saturday 28 November. Applications to take part in the parade will open in coming weeks.

Pride WA said it would be a chance to march, dance, and celebrate at the historic parade and come together in solidarity and celebration of the LGBTQIA+ communities. The free PrideFest Parade After Party, proudly presented by the City of Perth, will be held in Russell Square. The key dates for this year’s festival were announced back in early April giving everyone time to book leave, organise pet sitters and baby sitters, and plan their outfits.
