RMIT x Midsumma Festival 2026

Come together, meet new friends and amplify the power of community and culture at the 30th anniversary of Midsumma Pride March.

RMIT University invites all LGBTIQA+ students, staff and alumni and allies to march together at 2026 Midsumma Pride March. Whether it’s your first march or you’ve been going since it began in 1996, Join us for this celebration of love, identity, and community. Pride is about visibility, joy, resistance, and connection — and we want everyone to feel welcome, safe, supported, and seen.

This year’s theme: Time and Place, resonates with our diverse RMIT community as it recognises the power of our intersectional identities and our role in affirming and amplifying our whole community. And we march in solidarity with those who can’t.

Bring friends or come on your own, we will send you details of how to find us and all be together for the march.
