World Pride in Macquarie Park: your how-to guide
Sydney is about to celebrate World Pride - a major global LGBTQIA+ festival that coincides with the 45th Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras - and you don’t even need to leave Macquarie Park to get involved!
With a diverse and extensive catalogue of events and activations taking place in our precinct - from a Queer Prom to a “Pride Stride” of glittering rainbow placemaking, and even a global gay ice hockey tournament - there really is something for everyone.
