Sydney Disability Pride Festival 2025

This annual event is organised by people with disabilities for people with disabilities and our allies, to celebrate the largest and most diverse minority on earth: people with disabilities! It's a day of disabled-led, disability affirming activities with something for everyone!!!

This is our fourth year running and more than just a fantastic time, for many it's a life-altering experience that changes how we see the world, and how the world sees us. This year we make history by taking our (well-deserved) place in Sydney’s Town Hall and putting our banners all over the CBD.

Our theme for 2025 is “No Shame. No Apologies.”

Disability Pride publicly refuses to apologise for our needs and demands inclusion as our right. Many of us disabled people feel shame about who we are and the need to apologise for our needs. At Disability Pride we turn that attitude on its head as we join disabled persons around the world joyfully standing or sitting together and affirming our value and rights.

Disability pride is a global movement that rejects the feelings of shame and inferiority that our society foists on us, and fights back by celebrating ourselves and empowering our communities.

Join us. Be a part of history!
