Sure, Sydney has Oxford Street, but Melbourne has the best parties, the laneways, and albeit is the queer social epicentre. Although, the chilly weather isn’t ideal for mesh leggings and booty shorts. Either way, we can guarantee good times in Melbourne during Pride Month.
Here is our round-up of the best events to attend during Pride Month in Melbourne.
Climbing QTs
Collingwood
On Friday, June 3 from 6 pm, join the ClimbingQTs community for a social boulder party. There are plenty of free drinks, snacks, and even special door prizes.
Sunday Sizzle
Victorian Pride Centre
On June 5, from 12:30 pm to 7 pm, the Pride Centre is hosting a celebration, kicking off with a rooftop smoking ceremony, followed by DJs, drag performers, and a youth chorus. Of course, it wouldn’t be a sizzle without snags and a few drinks.
Spill the Tea
Victorian Pride Centre
On June 11, from 1 pm to 4 pm, venture to the Pride Centre for free afternoon tea. You can peruse the bookshop, munch on some cakes, and check out the Printed Protest exhibition inside.
Celebrate at House of Lulu White
Thirsty? House of Lulu White has created a special LULU’s Pride Carafe, inspired by the rainbow flag. They’re also hosting a deluxe bottomless brunch with special drinks and canapes available throughout June. From every deluxe bottomless brunch ordered in June, House of Lulu White will donate $5 to Minus18.
