Although the full event calendar is not set to be unveiled until Monday August 3rd, The Arts Centre Gold Coast have jumped the gun a bit by excitedly announcing the three key events to be held during their inaugural Glitter Festival.
This festival will serve as the Gold Coast’s first ever Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer and Allied Communities Festival, which is set to be run from September 28 to October 5. All supporting members of the public are invited to attend these events.
Information (including official descriptions) for each event can be found below, including pricing and location on the Gold Coast.

Pride Run Gold Coast

Get ready for an explosion of colour, fun and fast moving feet at the Pride Run Gold Coast – an opportunity to celebrate the Gold Coast’s diversity with friends, families, colleagues and supporters. Choose from the 5km Rainbow Run or Walk, the 3km Paws with Pride, the 70m High Heel Dash (sure to be a crowd favourite!) and 700m Little Flyers event for kids to 12 years.
Organisers were excited to launch online registrations. Emma Porter of PM9 Events said, ‘We expect to have over 500 participants at the first Pride Run on the Gold Coast and it is certainly something all of the family can do.’ Emma said ‘…it’s a fun, fabulous, colourful and inclusive event that embraces the diversity amongst the LGBT and wider Gold Coast community – it’s open to all fitness levels, ages and distances so anyone really can be involved.’
