Family Pride fearlessly returned with a rich and exciting line-up of events on Saturday and Sunday of Pride Week.

Proudly supported by the Procter & Gamble, Family Pride is an oasis and a destination for families of all kinds. The Saturday and Sunday of Pride Week, Family Pride sets up camp on the grounds of the Church Street Junior Public School (South east corner of Church Street and Alexander Street) offering inclusive, family-friendly activities and events. From crafts and games, to face painting and live children's entertainment, there are all kinds of fun for the entire family. Activity hours for both days are from 11:00 am to 6:00 pm.
