In partnership with American Express, we invite small merchants to be part of Pride Villages by entering the competition to be part of the Shop Small Pride Village. We want to showcase your products and services and help bring Sydney’s iconic LGBTQIA+ district to life during the festival’s final weekend on the 4th and 5th of March when we close Oxford Street for this once-in-a-lifetime event. This is a great opportunity to attract interest and support from people attending the Pride Villages during the Sydney WorldPride 2023 festival period.
