With the current global situation affecting so many people worldwide, the committee of Top End Pride NT (inc) vision a weekend celebrating life, diversity and community sharing positivity with one another. Our focus point this year is Hope.
The 2021 Top End Pride committee have a vision, that is to hold the largest festival in Northern Australia during 2023 to celebrate our community and also World Pride Sydney. To do this, we must take steps now to help us increase our capacities.
Darwin Pride Festival changes include:
🏳️⚧️Our previously known cabaret capacity increase from 120 to 275 guests with a fabulous location suitable for us to increase guest numbers to 1000 over a three year period.
🏳️🌈A mommoth ‘festival’ style stage inclusive of a shade structure to help keep our entertainers out of the sun also featuring a huge LCD monitor so everyone can see what is happening.
🏳️⚧️Another change you may notice will be the introduction of an annually hosted Gala with our inaugural ball to be held on Saturday 23 October 2021. This event will replace the Dine with Pride evening previously held during our Darwin Festival.
🏳️🌈Providing more free spaces for our youth community including a Free for All Dance Party on Saturday evening at Pride Wonderland and a Youth Private Beach Party on the Sunday.
The committee have been hard at work sourcing new event spaces so in 2023 we can welcome people from all over the world to our fabulous little city known as Darwin.
Thank you for all of your support and we look forward to celebrating with you Darwin.
