Tourism Australia managing director Phillipa Harrison said the event will be a huge opportunity for the travel and tourism industries.

“Featuring over 300 events, the Sydney WorldPride program will be the largest international event held in New South Wales since the Sydney 2000 Olympics, and promises to reintroduce international audiences to the unique breadth and depth of tourism experiences around Australia,” she said.

The Sydney WorldPride festival is the largest LGBTQIA+ event ever held in the region, with 17 days of activities spanning 30 Official major events, 68 curated WorldPride Arts experiences, 17 WorldPride Sports events and 192 Pride Amplified community events.

“The Sydney WorldPride Festival Guide represents 144 pages of fabulous LGBTQIA+ creativity,” said Kate Wickett, Sydney WorldPride’s chief executive.

“The festival includes an extraordinary array of free and ticketed experiences, from concerts to parties, theatre, sports and family events, so no matter your interests or budget, you are invited to Sydney WorldPride.”

“The first WorldPride in the Southern Hemisphere is a significant moment for the LGBTQIA+ community both in Australia and in Sydney. Now is the time to get ready for the global LGBTQIA+ reunion we’ve all been waiting for!”

Visitors to Sydney are also able to bundle major event tickets with their flights and accommodation for bookings completed by 30 November through an approved travel provider.
