Welcome to Cairns Tropical Pride 2011
Cairns Tropical Pride Festival is an annual event for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ) community of Cairns and Far North Queensland, as well as their families and friends, to celebrate the diversity of the region and connect to the wider community.
2011 marks the fifth annversary of this popular and fast-growing event, which is destined to become a leading national event in the LGBTQ calendar. The festival's winter timing fits in with the most idyllic time to visit Tropical North Queensland: whilst the southerners are finding it a bit chilly and are dreaming of a warm, tropical getaway, Cairns is usually a pleasant 25c during the day, making the Cairns Tropical Pride festivities a desirable holiday experience for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgendered people from around the country.
This year, the festival consists of three major events:
- Out! Proud! Dance Party - Saturday 20th August
- Tropical Pride Community Awards Night - Friday 26th August
- Tropical Pride Fair Day - Sunday 28th August
With previous years' Fair Day attracting over 2000 people, and over 500 at the official Dance Party, Cairns Tropical Pride Festival 2011 will be even BIGGER and BETTER than ever!
