Our People, Our Community
We were proud to return to the Newcastle Pride Festival for the 4th year in a row, celebrating once again with our vibrant local community in Hamilton. Our incredible volunteers brought the energy with a colourful pop-up marquee featuring glitter, face painting, and temporary tattoos—creating a welcoming space filled with joy, connection and celebration.
This year’s festival continued to champion gender diversity and sexuality within the LGBTIQA+ community. Our ongoing commitment to inclusion was on full display as our venues came together to support and uplift our community through shared moments of food, entertainment, sport and leisure.
We remain dedicated to supporting Newcastle Pride’s vision for a safer, more inclusive future where every LGBTQIA+ individual feels valued, proud and heard.
