North Sydney Council proudly launched Pride Month with a vibrant Pride Picnic at Ted Mack Civic Park on Sunday 1 June, bringing together families, friends and community members for an afternoon of music, performances and fun.
The Pride Picnic, celebrating this year's theme of "Love, Respect, Empower", featured live music, drag shows, kid-friendly activities, food trucks and a rainbow dog competition. As dusk fell, attendees enjoyed a moving tribute to North Sydney's queer history with projections of stories from the Mapping Queer North Sydney project illuminated on Stanton Library's walls.
The celebrations don't stop there, with North Sydney Council hosting a full calendar of events throughout June to honour Pride Month and promote inclusivity across the community.
Join the fun at these upcoming Pride Month events at Stanton Library:
