Following the celebrated success of our 2019 Newcastle Pride Festival with 10,000 people in attendance at Fair day and an atmosphere that was filled to the brim with energy, love and diversity, Newcastle Pride Incorporated is excited to announce our 2020 Pride Festival theme “THIS IS ME”. The festival will be held from Friday 14th August to Sunday 30th August.  The Newcastle Pride Festival is an exciting, glamorous and “out n’ proud” series of events that aims to showcase to locals and visitors that Newcastle is a city of diversity, culture and beauty. We plan to grow the Festival into a major annual event and bring our community together in unity and to leave a legacy for the LGBTIQ+ youth fostering a vibrant and supportive future community.

Newcastle Pride is an inclusive, vibrant and fun not-for-profit LGBTIQ community-based organisation established in 2018 and is 100% run by volunteers. Newcastle Pride celebrates sexuality and gender diversity in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Region within and outside our community. We work collaboratively to foster LGBTIQ+ Pride. We are fully inclusive. We collaborate with others within our community and with the wider community. Our vision is to empower all LGBTIQ+ people to find their voice and be proud.

Newcastle Pride brings many benefits to Sponsors. Our Pride Festival builds inclusion and social capital, and enriches the diverse fabric of our community.  Also, the Festival is making an important contribution to “diversity tourism” in Newcastle and the Hunter and promoting our beautiful City as a “must see” destination.

We invite you to come on board as a Sponsor and assist us in creating social harmony and celebrating community in all its diversity in Newcastle, Lake Macquarie and the Hunter Region.  

We are proud and excited about the opportunities which lie ahead. Your contribution will assist in making Newcastle Pride Festival a major success, and build a sustainable future for the event.

Don’t miss this amazing opportunity to get on board with us in 2020, you won’t be disappointed!
