Port Phillip and surrounds are bursting with pride with the return of the annual Midsumma Festival, including the iconic Pride March on Sunday 2 February.
In the traditional curtain-raiser to the Pride March, the progress pride flag will be raised over St Kilda Town Hall in a flag-raising ceremony to demonstrate our City of Port Phillip Council’s commitment for Port Phillip to be an inclusive City.
The ceremony is at 3 pm on Tuesday 28 January on the front lawn of St Kilda Town Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend.
We have been a major partner of the Pride March since its creation 29 years ago. Celebrating solidarity in gender and sexuality diversity, over 53,000 people will parade down Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. The march starts at 11 am, so make sure to get down early and secure a great spot to view all the excitement.
