La Trobe’s annual Pride Week celebrations are happening from 18 to 22 August!
Our 2025 theme is ‘Togetherness’. In a world that can feel divided, joining together is a powerful act. From historic rallies to joyful festivals, togetherness has always been at the heart of Pride.
We know that feeling connected to others makes us more resilient and that even small acts of visibility help others feel less alone. Whether it’s within our own communities or alongside supporters, coming together for visibility is always important.
Whether you’re by yourself or bringing your whole crew, let’s all be together this Pride Week!
