For the first time, the festivities will go beyond Qtopia Sydney’s home base, taking over the entire Oxford Street precinct.

This will include The Loading Dock Theatre, The Eternity Playhouse, Ginger’s at the Oxford, Universal Upstairs and Downstairs and more iconic venues.

“Pride Fest is a powerful reminder of what happens when community comes together with purpose,” said Festival Director Carly Fisher.

“This year’s growth has been driven by the community and we couldn’t be more proud to welcome new partners on board to help us grow this into an annual signature event on Oxford Street.

“Pride Fest is really about the artists who share their stories, the communities who show up and the allies who stand up, and we couldn’t be more proud”.

Other festival highlights include Dykes on Bikes: An Origin Story, Still Proud: Honouring The 78ers, Saddle Club Line Dancing and the House of Dy-lan.

Qtopia Sydney’s Pride Fest takes over Oxford Street throughout June for International Pride Month. For more, head to qtopiasydney.com.au
