Parade on the River | Melt River Parade – Bne

A river parade and some queer company for your Saturday arvo!
This river parade meet-up is for Gay Social Club members spending the arvo together. There’s a parade to enjoy and fellow members to get to know – plenty to chat about without rehearsing an opening line.
Come solo if that’s your plan; you don’t need to know anyone beforehand. First time joining us? You’re welcome to ease into the conversation at your own speed.
The exact meet point and how we’ll take part will be dropped here soon. Check those details before heading out so you know where to join the crew.
Come solo. Come curious. Come exactly as you are.

⚠️ MEMBERS-ONLY REMINDER
Members-only, no plus ones.
RSVPs close 7 days before the event (unless otherwise specified) or when the event reaches capacity. This allows us to confirm bookings with venues, finalise numbers, and deliver the best possible experience for everyone attending.
Please note: The check-in window for all Brisbane Gay Social Club events is 30 minutes from the advertised start time. Hosts are responsible for welcoming members, making introductions, and getting the event underway, so if you arrive significantly early or late they may not be available to check you in. Arriving within the check-in window helps ensure the best experience for both yourself and other members.
Your host’s contact number will be included in your event reminder email and should only be used on the day of the event if you need assistance locating the group or require support during the event. For all other enquiries, including bookings, cancellations, membership, or general support, please contact our Support Team via https://socialclubsupport.group/.
$10 no-show fee applies – If your plans float elsewhere, cancel your spot so the crew isn’t looking out for you.
💸 GOOD TO KNOW
RSVPing to this event is free as part of your membership, however any food, drinks, tickets, activities, transport, or venue costs are paid directly by attendees unless otherwise specified. We organise the vibes – you cover what you order.
📸 PHOTOS & VIDEOS
Our hosts may capture photos and videos throughout the event for use on our social media, website, and promotional materials. If you’d prefer not to appear in any content, simply let your host know when you check in and we’ll happily accommodate this.
