From the Midsumma organisers:
Midsumma Pride March is one of our signature events, where over 8,000 marchers usually take to the streets down Fitzroy Street in St Kilda each year. 45,000 people line the streets and balconies
along the march route to show their support.
Dykes on Bikes precede the marching contingent as per tradition, with the march itself led by Boon Wurrung Elders and a Rainbow Aboriginal Float along with the Premier of Victoria, Minister for Equality and the Creative Industries and Commissioner for Gender and Sexuality.
Hundreds of young people, often amongst the most vulnerable within our communities, are placed towards the front of the march as a positive and strong affirmation for LGBTIQA+ youth.
This year, Skirt Club Melbourne invites you to B Proud and join us marching in the Midsumma Pride March in St Kilda. The march itself goes from 11am - 1:30pm, with requirements for march participants to arrive in the marshalling area no later than 9:30am in order to be registered by the Midsumma marshalls. If you wish to join your Skirt Club sisters, and B Proud in our Skirt Club Australia Pride March debut, please reach out to Ms Foxxx directly.Immediately after
Pride March, join us for a Sunday session - a stone's throw from where the march ends near the corner of Acland and Fitzroy Streets. We'll be taking over the utterly delightful Lady Peacock Bar - booked out privately, just for Skirt Club members until 4:30pm.
IMPORTANT: As noted below in the location details, please make sure you
plan your arrival in advance due to
road closures for the Pride march. There will also be
public transport service changes in the area from 10:30am.
