Be part of history as we march across the Sydney Harbour Bridge for global equality, celebrating all that has been achieved, and conscious of the work still to be done.
50,000 people in their brightest colours will march across the iconic landmark (north to south), in a powerful international statement – we are here, we are united and we will be relentless in our demand for equality not only in Australia, but for all LGBTQIA+ people around the world. Join hands with your friends, your allies and your family – blood and chosen – to draw strength and joy from the communities that surrounds you on this stunning morning on Sydney Harbour.
As we march for equality, we also celebrate the 45th anniversary of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the 50th anniversary of the first Australian Gay Pride Week, and the 5th anniversary of marriage equality in Australia. We also acknowledge the Australian LGBTQIA+ experience is in stark contrast to many of our rainbow family in the Asia-Pacific, will use our strength and experience to represent those who cannot.
Entry to take part in the Pride Marzo was via a free ballot and you should now have your wristband ready to march. All tickets are fully allocated (more information – click here).
The full march route from start to finish is just over 4km, with no early exit points. View the map here.
Toda la comunidad LGBTQIA+ y sus aliados son bienvenidos, de todas las edades.

Sydney WorldPride is proud to support the Sunflower Hidden Disabilities Program which is a globally recognised symbol for hidden or non-obvious disabilities. The Sunflower Lanyard enables people with hidden disabilities and conditions the choice to let the people around them know they may need extra support, empathy, understanding or patience. This may mean some wearers cannot stand for a long time in the queue to use the bathroom, may need the use of an accessible bathroom (even if they aren’t a wheelchair or mobility aid user), patience when their order is being taken, may need fast-tracked support, more time to move around (i.e. due to pain or mobility challenges) or can feel overwhelmed, sensory overload or stressed out in large crowds and loud environments.
If you already own a Sunflower lanyard please bring it along and it will be accepted at all SWP events. If you don’t already have one, Sunflower Lanyards will be available onsite at the Information Area in North Sydney. Please check the event map for Sunflower Lanyard Pickup locations on site. The lanyard is yours to keep and use during the festival and beyond! Click this link for more information on what the Sunflower Lanyard is and how it may support you.
