Vic Park Pride was created in response to the same-sex marriage plebiscite of 2017, during which our community felt targeted.
Our mission is to create a safe and inclusive space for LGBTIQ individuals, their families, and allies. We believe in promoting acceptance, understanding, and equality for all members of our community.
Throughout the year, we organise a variety of events that engage the community and build positive connections. These events aim to showcase and celebrate the diversity within our community, while also providing a platform for expression and empowerment.
Vic Park Pride welcomes individuals of all backgrounds, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Whether you identify as LGBTIQ, are part of a family or ally, or simply want to support the cause, we encourage people to join us in our efforts to celebrate diversity and build a stronger, more inclusive community.
