A Celebration of Pride is an event to celebrate the progress made to date in building Australia’s first LGBTIQ focused community hub. An iconic building that will house a range of LGBTIQ organisations, services and supports. It will be a very visible and powerful statement of our resilience, strength and diversity. They’ll also be acknowledging the 50th Anniversary of Stonewall and stand with our national and international community in recognising the past, how far we’ve come and our hopes for the future. You can also meet members of the VPC Board and staff team, hear stories of resilience and help us launch our ‘Name the Crane’ competition. They’ll provide the nibbles, a few pride tunes and friendly space, you bring your vibrancy and pride.

The Victorian Pride Centre is a unique initiative that celebrates, bolsters and protects equality, diversity and inclusion. It is set to forge a new chapter in the narrative of Australian Pride by bringing the LGBTI community together in a single and powerful space. The Victorian Pride Centre will be home to a range of LGBTIQ focused organisations, along with businesses who support the LGBTIQ community.
