Perth PrideFEST
About This Event
PrideFEST is Perth's main LGBTQ+ festival, run every November by the community organisation Pride WA. It is a few weeks of events around two big public days: Fairday, a free daytime community fair, and the Pride Parade, a night parade through Northbridge, the city's main nightlife district.
Fairday has stalls from community groups and small businesses, live entertainment and a dog show that draws a big crowd. Watching the parade is free. It runs after dark through the Northbridge streets, followed by a free after-party at Russell Square presented by the City of Perth. Other events during the festival are run by different venues, and some are ticketed. For example, The Court sells tickets to a separate 18+ street party on James Street on parade night.
The 2026 dates are confirmed. Fairday is on Sunday 8 November and moves to Moort-ak Waadiny / Wellington Square, because Supreme Court Gardens is being renovated and the community asked for more shade and stall space. The parade is on Saturday 28 November in Northbridge. Pride WA also won the right to host the 2030 Gay Games, so expect the festival to keep growing.
The 2025 festival ran 21 to 30 November. Fairday was on 23 November at Supreme Court Gardens, and the parade on 29 November started at 6 pm. We couldn't find a published attendance figure for either day. November is early summer in Perth: warm and dry, with very strong sun, so bring sunscreen and water to Fairday.
