The Canberra SpringOUT Queer Festival is an event that takes place in Canberra, Australia. It's a celebration of the lgbtq+QIA+ community. Happens every November. The festival offers a range of activities such as parades, concerts, art exhibitions, film screenings and more. People of all ages and backgrounds are welcome to attend this event that aims to promote acceptance and diversity.
Since its inception in 1999 the festival has grown into one of Australias liveliest queer festivals. A passionate team of volunteers works tirelessly to ensure its success. The festival program caters to interests and preferences with its diverse lineup of events.
Among the highlights of the Canberra SpringOUT Queer Festival is the Pride Parade, which takes place on the weekend. This vibrant procession features floats, performers and marchers that attract an audience from across the city. Additionally other popular events at the festival include the Queer Screen Film Festival, Rainbow Families Day and SpringOUT Fair Day.
However it's important to note that this festival isn't, about entertainment alone.
The Canberra SpringOUT Pride Festival not acts as a platform for advocating and raising awareness about lgbtq+QIA+ issues but also offers a range of events such as panel discussions, workshops and educational activities. These endeavors aim to foster understanding and encourage dialogue on matters that impact the lgbtq+QIA+ community.
As the pride festival of Canberra and the Australian Capital Territory the Canberra SpringOUT Pride Festival has been organized by Canberra Pride since 1999. The festival is held annually in November. Is overseen by the incorporated entity called Canberra SpringOUT Association, which ensures proper governance and diligence, in producing and delivering the event.
