Saturday 24th
Parade
10:30-14:00 from Honeysuckle Car Park to Nobby’s Beach. Let’s turn the Newcastle foreshore into a sparkling sea of colour, creativity, and community. Think feathers, balloons, glitter explosions, and costumes so bright you’ll need sunnies to watch the parade.

Festival
The grand finale? Fair Day at Foreshore Park. This is the jewel in the crown, a huge outdoor celebration. Think live music, DJs, community stalls, food trucks, and entertainment for all ages, a full day of Pride vibes by the harbour. From dance floors to drag shows, community forums to family picnics, Newcastle Pride Festival is your chance to celebrate loudly, love proudly, and live your truth. Whether you're a Novocastrian or travelling in, there's something for everyone.
