Gold Coast Pride Festival 2026: Is it Happening?

Yes, Gold Coast Pride 2026 is officially in the works!

After the cancellation of Gold Coast Pride Festival in 2025, many were left disappointed. However, the spirit of Pride on the Gold Coast remained strong, with locals organizing smaller prideful gatherings to ensure visibility.

For 2026, the Gold Coast Pride Collective has been established. This organisation champions "support, advocacy, and harm prevention for LGBTIQ+SB folks on the Gold Coast." On the launch of the initiative, they also announced that "Gold Coast Pride Festival 2026 is officially on the horizon!"
