It’s a new year, but the pride doesn’t stop shining, even through the rain. And with Victoria’s Pride hosting a gaggle of regional events throughout Summer we thought it best to touch base with Cris Stevens-Todd from Shepparton and find out what’s happening in his region.

🎪 GV Pride’s ‘Pride Ball’ is back in February 2024, with a fabulous theme, ‘Under the big TOP’ – a vintage themed circus, exploring the historical notion that LGBTIQA+ belong in the circus; Freaks, whose only valid reason for existing is for the purpose of entertainment and amusement of others. We are taking back this notion and transforming it into an expressive and empowering celebration of our LGBTIQA+ community.
