PROJECT PRIDE LISMORE

Lismore and the rainbow region’s vibrant LGBTIQ+ community invites everyone to join with them in celebrating pride, diversity and belonging. 

A community-driven organisation promoting creativity, inclusivity and cultural expression.

Project Pride, a festival of art, culture, music, education and fun will run from the 7th to the 21st of June 2025.   Project Pride is an initiative of a grass-roots group of community members. Let us illuminate the community and celebrate diversity.

Proudly sponsored by

In the spirit of reconciliation, Project Pride Lismore would like to acknowledge the Custodians of this land, the Widjabul Wia-bal people of the Bundjalung Nation. We acknowledge the ongoing connections to land, waters and community. We pay our respect to the Elders past and present. We stand in solidarity.

Stand Proud!

From the 7th to the 21st of June, Lismore stands proud with events to tantalise and satiate you pride taste buds.

See you there.

Celebrating Pride and Diversity in the Lismore Lantern Parade.

Lismore Lantern Parade approaches, excitement builds as the community prepares to illuminate the night with creativity, unity, and pride. Among the festivities, this year marks a significant milestone as the Project Pride Lismore community enters the parade for the second time, adorned with magnificent rainbow lanterns.

 To contribute to this historic event, Project Pride Lismore has had three Workshops dedicated to crafting rainbow lanterns and a grand rainbow symbolizing hope, pride, unity, and diversity. These workshops invited participants to engage in a creative endeavour that not only produced stunning lanterns but also fosters connections across the community.
