A Huge Thank You to Pride 2022 Sponsors

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our sponsors and partners for Pride Festival 2022.

Tuesday, 29th March, 2022

Albany Pride Festival 2022 is sadly over!

Putting it together was a mammoth task: we did so much we had never done before, which could have gone pear-shaped, but had to work perfectly! 27 events, 32 performing artists, 14 venues, 10 sporting clubs, 26 vendors, 20+ volunteers… and about 2000 attendees!

None of it would have been possible without the generosity of our sponsors and partners, so we’d like to thank:

The Albany Pride Festival 2022 Committee

ALBANY PRIDE acknowledges the Menang people of the Noongar nation as the traditional custodians of the land, skies and waterways on which we live and celebrate. We recognise their continuing connection to culture and honour their deeper understanding of this beautiful Country known as Kinjarling, “place of rain”. We pay respect to the Elders past, present and emerging, and we strive to honour the brotherboys, sistergirls and LGBTIQA+ community who persevere in the face of adversity. We are grateful for the opportunity to come together and celebrate on this Country we are so lucky to call home. Finally, we acknowledge that sovereignty of this land was never ceded and recognise that the violence of colonialism committed by settlers is ongoing and pervasive. Always was, always will be, Aboriginal land.
