LGBTIQA+ events

Community groups, organisations and artists have the chance to be part of Victoria’s state-wide celebration of lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and gender diverse, intersex and queer (LGBTIQA+) communities this summer.

Minister for Equality Harriet Shing is encouraging groups and individuals to apply for grants of up to $15,000 to be part of the Victoria’s Pride Regional Activation Program.

Victoria’s Pride is an annual state-wide celebration of our diverse LGBTIQA+ communities. It includes a series of regional events held over the summer months and a one-day street party in Melbourne’s iconic Gertrude and Smith streets precinct, which will take place on February 11, 2024.

The event gives all Victorians the chance to learn about and demonstrate their support for LGBTIQA+ communities along with providing opportunities for LGBTIQA+ people to connect and express pride in who they are.

Leading LGBTIQA+ arts and cultural organisation Midsumma delivers Victoria’s Pride, through a partnership with the state government.

From now until August 8, Midsumma is seeking proposals for regional and rural Victorian activities planned for delivery on or in the lead-up to February 11, 2024.

Funded activities will form part of the Victoria’s Pride program and may include artworks, community celebrations, historical exhibitions and other projects documenting or highlighting the experiences of LGBTIQA+ people.

Applications are strongly encouraged from First Nations, gender diverse and culturally diverse people, as well as people with disability. Midsumma will run two information sessions on Tuesday, June 20 at 5.30pm and Friday, July 21 at 10.30am.

Commissioner for LGBTIQ+ Communities Dr Todd Fernando said the regional and rural activities for Victoria’s Pride were a chance to highlight that people with diverse genders, sexualities and sex characteristics are part of every community. Link: www.midsumma.org.au/regional-activation
