PrideFest Pride Western Australia 2015

Pride Western Australia Incorporated welcomes you to the 25th year celebrations of PrideFEST, Western Australia’s premiere LGBTIQ arts, culture and community festival.

Pride WA grew out of a community movement protesting laws that actively discriminated against lesbian and gay Western Australians, and has worked closely with many in our community to achieve important law reforms.

As an organisation, we are now focused on growing PrideFEST as a festival that gives artists, performers and community groups a platform to share our abilities and stories with the whole of Western Australia.

The 25th anniversary Pride PARADE is one of many highlights in this year’s festival, which is rich with many “must- do” events. We encourage you to get along to everything you humanly can! It’ll be worth it.

As with all of our events this year, we are asking artists, performers, as well as our participants and patrons, to paint the city silver in recognition of 25 fabulous years.

Our theme also acknowledges the amazing support we have had from both the City of Perth and City of Vincent over many years, as well as our growing relationship with the Metropolitan Redevelopment Authority.

With the support of Lotterywest and all of our other sponsors, we are proud to present this year’s program to you. We hope you enjoy it and have a very happy PrideFEST!

Pride Western Australia Incorporated (Pride WA) is Western Australia’s largest community group, representing the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans and intersex community.

Originally incorporated in 1993 as Lesbian & Gay Pride (WA) Incorporated, Pride WA has its roots in the 1989 march on Parliament, during the contentious debate about the decriminalisation of sex between consenting men in WA.

Since then, Pride WA has grown to stage our community’s largest and favourite events and played an important role in campaigning for gay and lesbian law reform, which saw all State-based discriminatory laws abolished in 2002.

Pride WA has a rich history and we will be publishing a history section on our website soon.

We are run by a volunteer Committee, and we will also soon be publishing a Committee page, so you can get to know the team.
