Rainbow Wave Festival 2026

Join us for the 5th Rainbow Wave Festival!

Rainbow Wave Festival is a Youth-led Rural LGBTQIA+ Pride Event featuring entertainment, music, workshops, service stalls, market stalls and a whole lot of LOVE!

We are once again returning to our roots and celebrating with our friends at Oaklands Event Centre.

The event will run from 11am-5pm on Saturday September 5th with doors opening at 10:30am.

Rainbow Wave is a strictly alcohol free, youth centered celebration (with something special for all ages), so, get your dress ups ready (did someone say runway?), throw some glitter on and grab your tickets! You won't want to miss out on this ultra-cute family friendly event!

Follow us on instagram at @rainbow_wave_festival for all the updates and for more info on what's happening throughout the day!

All funds raised at Rainbow Wave Festival, after covering expenses, will go towards future Rainbow Wave Festivals and will also keep our Rainbow Collective Youth Groups running for free each month at Headspace Bega!

*If finances are a barrier to attending, please email our event lead/peer worker Alexander at amunroe@gph.org.au to request a pay it forward ticket. We don't want anyone to miss out! I know it's easy to believe sometimes that your struggles may not be 'difficult enough' to ask for help or that other people may be 'more deserving' of this support (believe me, I've been there!) but please know that this option is here for absolutely anyone who may need an extra helping hand, no shame or judgement.
