Proud to be here
Sydney WorldPride 2023 is a not-for-profit festival, incorporating Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
Who we are
WorldPride is a global LGBTQIA+ festival that has been staged since 2000, with cities competing to host the event.
The right to host it is licensed by InterPride which has representatives from nearly every Pride organisation around the world. Previous WorldPride celebrations include New York in 2019 marking 50 years since the Stonewall uprising, and Copenhagen in 2021 celebrating both WorldPride and the EuroGames.
Sydney was chosen by InterPride members to be the host of WorldPride in 2023, marking the first time a city in the southern hemisphere had been chosen.
Sydney WorldPride will incorporate all the beloved Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras events, plus a broad festival offering across arts, sport, theatre, concerts, parties, First Nations programming and a human rights conference.
