We’re thrilled to share that 14 exciting events have been commissioned for Victoria’s Pride Regional Activation Program, to run across Victoria’s rural and regional areas leading up to the one-day street party in Melbs inner north. As part of Victoria’s Pride, these unique events will connect, celebrate and showcase the diversity of our vibrant LGBTIQ+ communities across the state, so that more Victorians can enjoy the festivities.
