Top End Pride has released all the exciting events they have planned for this year鈥檚 Darwin Pride festivities.聽
According to Top End Pride, the festivities will 鈥渟howcase the best of Darwin queer culture and encompass this year鈥檚 theme: 鈥楥elebrating the differences that connect us鈥欌��.
This incredible program includes classic pride events such as a film festival, plays, comedy shows and concerts, but also some unique events like an anal sex and pleasure workshop and a 1930s queer speakeasy experience.聽
Majority of the events and celebrations will be in a new location compared to previous years. The Darwin Waterfront and its surrounds will host much of the Darwin Pride program, and during the festival the area will be transformed into 鈥楾he Pride Precinct鈥�.
