2026 Festival + Parade

This year, Pridefest is moving to the Melbourne Auditorium, giving us massive indoor and outdoor space, multiple zones for vendors, families, performances, and activities, and a fully air-conditioned theatre where guests can enjoy the fiercest entertainment in town while browsing a variety of local vendors indoors and outdoors. The venue is fully accessible, keeping the celebration inclusive, safer, and fun for everyone.

And for the first time ever, our parade will march through the heart of downtown Melbourne, putting Pride on full display for the city to see and cheer. Private shuttles will ensure attendees get from the parade to the festival seamlessly—no one misses a moment of the action!

More space. More visibility. More impact. More Pride. Join us as we make Pridefest 2026 the boldest, most memorable celebration yet!
