Bay Pride

Overview

Wynnum Fringe doesn't just keep getting bigger every year. The arts and culture festival also expands its lineup by adding new reasons to head along. In 2023, Bay Pride falls into that category — the first-ever Pride fest in Brisbane's bayside.

Taking place on Sunday, November 26 in the Wynnum Fringe hub precinct in and around George Clayton Park, the inaugural Bay Pride is celebrating the LGBTQIA+ community with everything from a march and music to performances and markets. It all kicks off at 10am, running through until late — with love, inclusivity, diversity and equality always centre stage.

The march will start at 12pm at the Wynnum Jetty, making for both a welcoming and a scenic stroll — and sunny — that'll end at Wynnum Fringe's main site for the year.

In the Wynnum Fringe Garden, LGBTQIA+ businesses will lead the market selection, with bites to eat, drinks from outdoor bars and rides also on offer — including hopping on the ferris wheel.

Shows taking to the stage throughout the day span Lesbian Love Stories, the Pride Variety Show and GODZ, while Trevor Jones will be tickling the ivories in the piano lounge. Throw in an outdoor stage filled with tunes and drag, plus an afterparty from 6pm, and it's set to be a huge day.
