Darwin Pride 2024 – Pride Parade

Thank you for registering to Darwin Pride – we can't wait to celebrate with you! After checkout, we'll ask you a few questions about who you are which should take no more than a minute to answer. We'd really appreciate your feedback as it will help us make future Pride events even better for all of our queer community. Thanks again in advance.

Join us as we march through the Waterfront to celebrate progress and difference. LGBTQIA+ rights are still being questioned, challenged and denied here in the NT, across Australia and the globe, and we march to advocate for our community and spread joy. Accessible for everyone, NO VEHICLES.

Sponsored by NTG, Darwin Waterfront, Jacana Energy, SRO, Woolworths, CBA, Hot 100, Darwin City Council, United Air Conditioning
