2025 PRIDEFEST TERMS AND CONDITIONS

https://www.pridewa.com.au/Pridefest-Terms-and-Conditions-2025/

To be fair to all entrants in the Parade, each float can only represent one organisation. You can seek an exemption from this, but it will likely incur costs. If you wish to seek an exemption, please email pride@pridewa.com.au
PRIDEFEST 2025 THEME

We're keeping the design a surprise for the official theme launch on 20th August, but we'll give you some hints to get your float planning underway:

WE ARE HERE

We Are Here is the PrideFEST 2025 theme, celebrating visibility, resilience, persistence and unity. Inspired by historic activism, it asserts that queer people have always existed and will continue to take up space. The theme connects WA to global struggles and highlights LGBTIQA+ diversity across all regions. It challenges misconceptions, reinforces solidarity for those facing isolation, and calls on allies to actively uplift and protect the community. More than a statement, it is a commitment to lasting change, rejecting erasure, honouring those who came before, and demanding accountability to ensure LGBTIQA+ people are seen, heard, valued, and celebrated. We Are Here.
