FESTIVAL
2025
The Sunshine Coast Pride Festival is a celebration of LGBTQIA+ diversity, community and connection. Its mission is to foster a safe, inclusive and joyful space where LGBTQIA+ individuals, their families and allies can come together to honour and embrace the vibrant spectrum of identities and experiences that enrich our community. In 2025, it returns after a six-year break with a renewed energy and rebrand.
For the first time, SC Pride will open up its program to the community, inviting event submissions from the diverse LGBTQIA+ individuals and groups that inhabit the coast. By doing this, we are aligning this year’s festival with the vision of the recently relaunched Sunshine Coast Pride Network:
Connecting community, fostering collaborations and inspiring creativity
Providing inclusive, diverse and safe spaces for our people and their allies
Celebrating LGBTQIA+ achievements and providing a platform for advocacy
Creating visibility for the LGBTQIA+ community
Sunshine Coast Pride Festival returns 14-23 November
The 2025 festival dates run over two weekends to allow more events the opportunity to take advantage of Friday to Sunday availability. However, we encourage submissions for weekday shows to ensure a varied and accessible program.
The application fee is waived for 2025 as we find our feet with this exciting new format.
