Gold Coast Pride Fair Day 2026

Join the Gold Coast Pride Collective for a fantastic day of celebration, visibility and community connection as Gold Coast Pride Fair Day takes over HOTA on Saturday June 27! This year’s celebrations begin with the official Pride March, kicking off from the corner of Mawarra Street and Stanhill Drive before making its way across the Green Bridge, around the beautiful HOTA lake and into the Fair Day grounds for a huge afternoon of Pride celebrations. Fair Day at HOTA will feature a full day of live entertainment on our main stage (fully undercover from sun and weather), food trucks, community stalls, market vendors, a dedicated kids and family activity zone, Drag Pageant, Pet Parade, a fully licensed bar and plenty more surprises throughout the day. This is a 100% FREE community event, however we are asking attendees to register for a free ticket online so we can estimate anticipated crowd numbers and contact attendees directly in the event of any important updates or changes to the event. Your ticket does not need to be presented or scanned on the day — registration simply helps us plan the safest and best possible experience for everyone attending. The celebrations don’t stop there either! After Fair Day wraps up, continue the festivities at the official ticketed Q1 SkyPride Closing Party, before heading to the free After Party celebrations at Hairy Mary’s to keep the Pride spirit going late into the night. Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community, an ally, friend or family member, everyone is welcome to come together and celebrate Pride on the Gold Coast.
