Newcastle Pride Parade

Newcastle Pride Parade is back in 2025 – bigger, bolder and balloonier than ever! This is not your average parade, it’s a rainbow-powered, glitter-filled, all-wheels-welcome celebration of pride, inclusion and pure joy. Starting at Honeysuckle Drive car park, we’ll roll along the foreshore with feathers, costumes, balloons and beats, before finishing up at Nobbys Beach for a community BBQ.


DJ Lisa Anita will once again set the vibe from her legendary DJ bicycle, keeping the energy high as the city transforms into a sparkling sea of colour and creativity. Coles will be firing up the BBQ with $2 sausage sangas and $4 steak sangas, with all proceeds donated to Newcastle Youth.



Entry is just $2 per person (NCC admin fee). Dogs, scooters, strollers and mobility scooters are welcome, and all ages can join (under 16s must be with an adult). Bring your brightest outfit, your fun-loving attitude, and get ready to light up Newcastle with pride.



Proudly supported by our Principal Partner, Coles.
