Fresh off the huge success of the inaugural 2025 Proud Mary, we’re thrilled to announce it’s back from 1pm to 5pm on Saturday 7 February.

Proud Mary is all about celebrating the vibrancy and diversity of the LGBTIQA+ community, and we’re rolling out a massive welcome to allies too. If you’ve ever wanted a fun, safe, joyful space to enjoy sport and community, this is it.

For far too long, many LGBTIQA+ people have felt that sport isn’t a safe place due to ongoing discrimination. Events like Proud Mary are helping rewrite that story in Melboune’s north-east – creative a space where everyone can play, connect and feel at home.

Get ready for an awesome afternoon of games, social tennis, a sizzling barbecue lunch and plenty of prizes.
