Midsumma Pride March will return to Fitzroy Street, St Kilda on Sunday 1 February 2026.
Rest assured Midsumma has a detailed risk management plan in place for Pride March, which includes appropriate interventions for different weather conditions. However, it’s important that you incorporate these sun safety tips into your own planning:
- Choose breathable fabrics like cotton and linen to prevent overheating
- Wear sunscreen and reapply every few hours as needed
- Stay out of the sun in shaded areas on the perimeter of Ian Johnson Oval
- Pack a water bottle and keep it full at one of our hydration stations
- Bring handheld umbrellas, spray bottles or handheld fans to cool off
- Leave your pets at home
