South Australian Pride Gala
South Australian Pride's Night of Nights. Celebrating Pride, Legacy and Community
Imagine it – a room filled with colour, courage and celebration. Sequins shimmer, speeches soar and the spirit of Pride fills every corner.
The Pride Gala is the ultimate night of recognition, remembrance and unapologetic joy. Now in its second year, the Gala honours a powerful milestone: 50 years since the first decriminalisation of homosexuality in Australia.
It is more than a celebration. It is a moment of reflection, unity and pride.
A Celebration of Us:
Then, Now and Always
From trailblazers who paved the way to today’s fearless changemakers, the Pride Gala brings together every part of our vibrant community.
It is where stories are shared, hearts are full and the dancefloor becomes a statement of resilience and freedom.
We honour the people, places and moments that uplift and empower us.
This is our night to celebrate who we are – proudly, loudly and together.
