What's On

Midsumma Pride March will return to Fitzroy Street, St Kilda on Sunday 1 February 2026. 

Rest assured Midsumma has a detailed risk management plan in place for Pride March, which includes appropriate interventions for different weather conditions. However, it’s important that you incorporate these sun safety tips into your own planning:

• Choose breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to prevent overheating
• Wear sunscreen and reapply every few hours as needed
• Stay out of the sun in shaded areas on the perimeter of Ian Johnson Oval
• Pack a water bottle and keep it full at one of our hydration stations
• Bring handheld umbrellas, spray bottles or handheld fans to cool off
• Leave your pets at home

Much of the information below refers to the 2025 Midsumma Pride March, which occurred on 2 February 2025. For the 2026 Pride March, most information will be similar — for the 2026 details, please come back once the 2026 Midsumma Program has launched on 24 November 2025.

If you're marching, please check out Midsumma Pride March Participation.

Parade, pride and party come together once a year in Melbourne's iconic march celebrating solidarity in gender and sexuality diversity.

Midsumma Pride March is held one week before the Victoria's Pride Street Party.
