Canberra SpringOUT Pride Festival
Overview
SpringOUT is Canberra's only pride festival. Held in November each year, a month-long festival that celebrates Australia's most LGBTQIA+ friendly city and Canberra's LGBTQIA+ community in all its fabulous diversity.
It's time to SpringOUT with 'PRIDE in the Capital' in 2026!
Throughout November, Canberra's annual SpringOUT festival showcases a diverse array of events that celebrate Canberra's LGBTQIA+ community. There are free and low-cost events, so don't miss out.
Events include their opening event, at Glebe Park, SpringOUT Fair Day. Then later, celebrate The Famous Pink Tennis Bush Dance, which sells out every year.
SpringOUT will host their fourth Pride Sports Festival ''Sport Your Pride' with ACT Veterans Rugby and many other sporting codes. There will be women's Rugby and Grid Iron Matches, Soccer, Hockey, Water Polo, Roller Derby and Come and Try Sessions not to be missed!
Explore Exhibitions, Theatre, Dance, and Guided Walks. There will be workshops. Don't miss Qwire's Annual Concert. Participate in the Pride Run with Canberra Frontrunners.
