Castlemaine Pride was founded in 2018 as a way of saying thanks to the allies that supported us during the Marriage Equality Plebiscite in 2017 and to come together to celebrate the diverse and wonderful LGBTQIA+ community we have in the Mount Alexander Shire.
Located in the historic Castlemaine Botanical Gardens, this family friendly event includes market stalls, food vans, a dog show and live entertainment all day.
Bring your picnic rug, your family and even your dog to the 2024 Castlemaine Pride Picnic, our signature Pride event.
