Melbourne will celebrate two mega Pride events in February. The Midsumma Pride March will take place on February 6, 2022 at Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. And a week later on February 13, the Melbourne Pride – a one-day street party to commemorate the 40th anniversary of decriminalisation of homosexuality in Victoria, will be held at Gertrude Street Precinct.
Between the two Prides, there are also a whole lot of parties that are still going ahead.

Poof Doof’s resident DJs and drag icons set the right beat at this annual pride march after-party. You can hit the lawns to bowl with your mates, dance or savour the gourmet BBQ on offer. And then the eagerly awaited dish of the afternoon – the annual Meat Raffle!
