Welcome to 1st hour of the 20th Melbourne Pride March which was broadcast live from Fitzroy Street, St Kilda. Pride is held every year in February, as part of the Midsumma Festival which showcases the multitude of different Cultural, Artistic and Social aspects of Melbourne’s Rainbow communities.

So  join in the celebrations with our 2015 pride broadcast team Katie, Patrick, Dean, Ginni, Emma, Steph, Leo and Michael as we celebrate all that is our colourfully diverse rainbow and allied communities. This year is a particularly special year, as we mark the 20th anniversary of pride (the first one being held back in 1996).

If you’d like to hear more about the fascinating stories of the last 20 years of Pride March; we encourage you to check out the special 20th Anniversary retrospective podcast, where we take a look back, speak to those who were there & explore where it all got started, how it has evolved and where Pride is heading.

In the 1st hour, we crossed down to our merry band of roving reporters in the marshaling area to get a feel for the atmosphere before the march & interview some of the participants, including the acting Chief Commissioner of Victoria Police Tim Cartwright.

We then heard the roar of dykes on bikes and very soon the march was underway, with much cheering and hollering by all!

Among the myriad of guests who joined us in the 1st hour are:
