In proud partnership with Pride WA, Raine Square presents a vibrant, inclusive, and unapologetically bold program for PrideFEST 2025, celebrating the theme “We Are Here.” This powerful message asserts the visibility, resilience, and unity of the LGBTIQA+ community, honouring historic activism while embracing the present with pride and joy.
Throughout November, Raine Square transforms into a dynamic hub of queer culture, creativity, and connection. From glittering runway shows and drag performances to immersive exhibitions and storytelling, every activation is a celebration of identity, artistry, and community.
Whether you're here to dance, discover, or simply soak in the atmosphere, Raine Square invites you to stand proud, take up space, and celebrate the beauty of being exactly who you are.
About this years theme:
"We Are Here is the theme of PrideFEST 2025, asserting the visibility, resilience, and unity of the LGBTIQA+ community. Inspired by historic activism, it emphasises that queer people have always existed and will continue to take up space unapologetically. The theme connects Western Australia to global struggles and recognises both past and present fights for equality." Pride WA 2025
