Rainbow Airport

Sydney Airport

To celebrate WorldPride coming to Sydney, anyone arriving during the festival will feel a radiant and colourful welcome to Sydney Airport.

From the moment they step off the plane, travellers will be greeted with rainbow walkways leading the way to the outdoor Arrivals Forecourt and a Welcome Hub highlighting all that WorldPride has to offer.

Once they reach the outdoor space, travellers will feel an instant connection to the magnetic personality of Sydney with rainbow window panels and the perfect WorldPride arrival moment for the ‘gram!

The rainbows are on display for one month from 7 February.
