Led by Melt Festival Ambassador, Courtney Act, the inaugural River Pride Parade is a floating celebration of LGBTQ+ communities and allies. Check out the full parade details here: River Pride Parade.
🌊 What to Expect:
The parade will head from William Jolly Bridge down to the Powerhouse, and we'll be watching from Merthyr Park, a lovely spot with a small playground and plenty of shade for the little ones. Afterward, feel free to join us as we walk (20 minutes) or take the ferry (5 minutes) to the Powerhouse to continue the celebrations!
🚗 Parking & Transport:
Parking may be limited, so plan ahead. The Sydney St ferry terminal is nearby, or you can take the 196 bus from the city. Keep in mind that the river will be closed by a certain time to accommodate the parade.
We can’t wait to see you there for a fun day of community and celebration!
