Celebrate Pride with a vibrant community picnic, live entertainment and powerful projections sharing local queer stories at Ted Mack Civic Park on Sunday 1 June.
Mirroring Pride Month 2025’s theme of “Love, Respect, Empower”, this vibrant, family friendly afternoon will feature:
- Live music
- Dazzling drag entertainment
- Face painting (for all ages)
- Children’s activities
- Food trucks
- A special rainbow dog competition (dress your pups in Pride-themed outfits!)
As daylight fades, stay to experience a tribute to local queer history. Council buildings will be lit in rainbow colours, setting the scene for powerful projections from Mapping Queer North Sydney onto the walls of Stanton Library. These stories honour the lives, voices and contributions of the LGBTIQA+ community in our local area.
The Mapping Queer North Sydney initiative, developed over the past two years, has unearthed and digitised the diverse histories of the LGBTIQA+ community across the local area. These collected stories are a rich, intimate archive of the people, places and experiences that continue to shape North Sydney’s queer identity.
This free, inclusive event is open to all - bring a picnic rug, your friends and your pride.
