Melbourne Pride is a multi-generational and intersectional celebration; a State Government initiative designed to celebrate and commemorate Victorian LQBTQIA+ history and the 40th anniversary of the decriminalisation of homosexuality with events and activities all over the state of Victoria. Midsumma has been commissioned by the Victorian State Government to deliver the one-day event on Sunday 13 February 2022. The celebrations will be held in the Fitzroy and Collingwood precinct. Melbourne Pride will be filled with live entertainment highlighting Victorian based talent, and activations of local businesses in the area. Regional activations are also happening across other areas of Victoria in the lead up to the event.
