Our curated listings bring you closer to moments that shape the queer future, and Dubbo’s rural queer celebration is a must-attend.
A Growing Tradition in Rural Australia
Dubbo Pride in the Park, launched in 2023, has become a beacon for rural queer communities. Held at Elizabeth Park, the 2025 event expects 700 attendees, up from 500 in 2023. “This rural queer celebration breaks the isolation of small-town life,” says organizer Casey Walsh. The 2023 event, listed on Lighthouse.lgbt, featured drag performances and art stalls, fostering connection in a region where, per a 2023 Australian Institute of Health and Welfare report, 54.3% of LGBTQ+ youth face high psychological distress. This year’s festival includes live music, a queer youth panel, and food trucks, celebrating rural resilience.
Why Attend Dubbo Pride 2025?
This rural queer celebration offers something for everyone. The youth panel, moderated by local nonbinary artist Riley Thompson, will discuss mental health, inspired by a 2023 Trevor Project survey noting 56% of queer youth face anxiety due to stigma. A 2024 Broken Hill Pride workshop, also listed on our platform, influenced this year’s focus on rural queer youth. Expect drag shows by Sydney performer Rainbow Ruby and craft stalls showcasing Indigenous queer art. “Events like these save lives,” says attendee Jamie Carter, reflecting on the 2024 event’s impact. Lighthouse.lgbt’s Events page makes it easy to RSVP and connect with organizers.
