Excitement is building for Sydney WorldPride 2023, following nearly 1000 Sydneysiders creating a human Progress Flag on the steps of the Sydney Opera House today to mark the 44th anniversary of the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
The display sends a message of welcome to the world as Sydney gears up to host the first WorldPride event in the Southern Hemisphere.
Destination NSW supported the bid for Sydney to host WorldPride and was the first major partner signed to the event, which will run from 17 February to 5 March 2022. With 500,000 people expected to attend Sydney WorldPride, it will be the biggest summer event of 2023.
Minister for Enterprise, Investment and Trade, Minister for Tourism and Sport and Minister for Western Sydney Stuart Ayres said: “The NSW Government continues to invest in world-class entertainment, hospitality and events, our goal is to be the events capital of the Asia-Pacific and supporting Sydney World Pride 2023 helps achieve this.
“NSW is ready to host this event and we are encouraging visitors to make the trip to enjoy the best that Sydney has to offer.”
