“Home is a place we all must find, child. It’s not just a place where you eat or sleep. Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we’re always home, anywhere.” – Lena Horne as Glinda the Good in The Wiz (1978)

‘The Emerald Ball’ theme acknowledges the contributions The Wizard of Oz, Wicked and The Wiz have had on LGBTIQA+ culture, while speaking to the experiences of being regionally queer in seeking a place or people to call home.

This event takes place on the lands of the Yorta Yorta people. Goulburn Valley Pride acknowledge the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we live, work and play, the eight clans of the Yorta Yorta Nation. We also pay our respects to their Elders past and present. On the land of the Goulburn Valley, sovereignty was never ceded.
