10th Annual Geelong Rainbow Festival: Legacy

Come along to Johnstone Park for Greater Geelong's flagship celebration of LGBTIQA+ identity, diversity, and inclusion. Marking a historic 10-year milestone, this year's festival promises to be the biggest and most vibrant gathering yet.

Gather your friends, families, and allies for a completely free, fully accessible day of connection and pride. This anniversary introduces exciting new features, including an interactive Local Queer History and Public Art Trail, an expanded Youth and Inter generational Hub featuring workshops and elder storytelling, and a main stage showcase spotlighting incredible regional musicians, drag artists, and performers.

Browse ethical artisan stalls, grab a bite from Geelong's best food trucks, and explore community hubs in a welcoming, festive atmosphere. The day opens with a powerful Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremony led by Wadawurrung Traditional Owners.

Designed for everyone, the festival prioritises absolute accessibility with Auslan interpreters, wheelchair friendly viewing areas, gender neutral amenities, and a low stimulation quiet space.

Come be part of history. Celebrate a decade of resilience, visibility, and community spirit right in the heart of Geelong. Whether you are a longtime local or visiting for the first time, there is a place for you here.
