Pride in the Paddock is the Riverina’s inaugural pride festival coming Saturday, 19th September. 


Held on Wiradjuri country in Wagga Wagga NSW, it’s a celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community and its allies. Where visibility, connection and country hospitality come together to say: 


You belong here.  

Pride in the Paddock is a safe space to be your true self close to home.


The festival is free to attend and open to everyone. Join us from 11am - 4pm at the Riverside Precinct, beside the banks of the Murrumbidgee river, for a day of fun for the whole community.
