The Sydney Pride Festival 2020 “Love Stream” launched on Sydney Pride Facebook on the Thursday 4th June. Sydney Pride Festival will run from the 4th until the 30th June.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the LGBTQIA community. More than 220 pride celebrations around the world have been cancelled or postponed, as of April 3, 2020. Global Pride, an online event with numerous national hosts, has been scheduled for June 27, 2020.
The Sydney Pride Festival 2020 “Love Stream” will be an online platform for Pride Month. In a time we can not be together to remember the History and celebrate Sydney Pride we Integrate our community together online. Sydney Pride Festival is a grass roots festival and a time to pass on the history and raise awareness and education of our LGBTQI Charities. This year we will be putting the focus on how we have changed through the Pandemic and our online community has become more important than ever.
Sydney pride festival 2020 will remember our pursuit for acceptance and total Equality for all our LGBTQI brothers and sisters. Sydney Pride can reach out and help those struggling with Sexual identity, bullying, drugs or just feeling that life is too hard to stand strong and ask for help. Connecting together in Solidarity. This is Love Stream Pride!
Sydney Pride Festival is a not for profit event which supports a wide range of LGBTQI Charities, Organisations and businesses. This Sydney Pride festival 2020 will include online links to LGBTQIA entertainment, Talks, Documentaries, Children Story time, Health and fitness, Education, Movie and TV Recommendations and much more. We will have an online Calendar with what’s on each day and links where to find it.
This is a time to remember the Stonewall Riots and the beginning of Gay liberation as we know it. The Sydney Pride festival is dedicated to those that lead the way back in 1969 who fought for equality and human rights and the incredible strength of our friends who marched in the first Sydney Mardi Gras in 1978.
Last year the Sydney pride Festival contained over 100 events. The festival featured Art, Cinema, Trivia, Debates, Sports, Fundraising activities and Club events across Sydney. This year will be very different but we feel it is very important to change during these very different times and stay connected.
The Sydney Pride Festival would like to thank the volunteers, event organisers, sponsors and LGBTQI community and all our friends for all their support.
We are currently seeking expressions of interest in adding your current event or producing a new online event for our wonderful community. If you would like to be part of the online festival. Please send email to info@sydneypride.com

Saturday 23 May marks the 24TH Anniversary of Australia’s largest Art Event – Real Refuses – where artists not selected for the ARCHIBALD, WYNNE, SULMAN, and DOUG MORAN Art Prizes exhibit their work at TAP Gallery in SURRY HILLS to win the popular “People’s Choice Award”, selected by the public on the night.
Real Refuses has become firmly established as part of the “Archibald Season”.
While it is an exhibition of rejected artwork, it is much more than that…
It is about giving a fair go to all the artists involved in Australia’s largest art events.
Not everyone can win an Archibald but here everyone can exhibit along side their peers. (You’ll find past winners of Australia’s biggest art prizes here as well!)
In the past an extraordinary range of subjects have been shown, from musicians, actors, politicians including the NSW Premier, Mayor of Willoughby, Anthony Mundeen, Tony Abbott, Leo Sawyer, the then Prime Minister John Howard, Madame Lash, Elizabeth Cummings, Professor Bruce James Brew, and Jaiwei, (a winner of the Sulman.)
We can’t wait to see the works not selected this year!
