river pride parade

Sat 08 November 2025

The River Pride Parade is ready to set sail for its second year on Saturday, 8 November 2025!

After an incredible debut in 2024, this year’s parade promises to be another unforgettable journey full of color, sparkle, and good vibes. The flotilla of boats and watercraft will cruise along the iconic Brisbane River/Maiwar from West End to Brisbane Powerhouse, with plenty of prime spots to catch the action.

Last year’s parade saw a fantastic turnout, with everyone dancing to the upbeat party tunes from Melt 2024’s partner, 4ZZZ. The celebration continued with Splash Out on OASIS and a family-friendly Pride Picnic at South Bank, bringing together LGBTQIA+ communities and allies for a day of fun and unity on the water.

This year, we’re gearing up for an even bigger celebration, so bring your boat, your friends, and your pride! Boats of all shapes and sizes are welcome to register and join the fun. If you’d like to be part of River Pride Parade 2025, be sure to register your interest early.

Save the date and stay tuned for more updates to come – this year’s parade is going to be one to remember! Register below.
