The 2025 Orange Rainbow Festival is shaping up to be a spectacular celebration of inclusivity, diversity, and community spirit! Held over five vibrant days from March 19 to 23, this year’s festival is set to bring the city of Orange, NSW alive with an incredible array of events.

In addition to the much-loved Rainbow Street Party and the Rainbow Festival Walk and Community Gathering, the festival will feature an exciting lineup of fringe events that cater to a wide range of interests and audiences.

Get ready to laugh out loud at the Comedy Night, immerse yourself in powerful stories at the Queer Film Night, and let loose at the Drag Bingo and Doggie Drag, where pets and their owners can strut their stuff in fabulous fashion. The festivities will continue into the night at the Studio 2800 Rainbow Disco Night, promising non-stop fun and dancing. 

Orange City Council is thrilled to support this vibrant festival and encourages local businesses and venues to join in the celebrations by hosting additional fringe events. This is an incredible opportunity for the community to come together, celebrate diversity, and create unforgettable memories.

With a blend of hub events and fringe festivities, the 2025 Orange Rainbow Festival promises to be a dazzling display of pride and unity. Mark your calendars and join us for a festival to remember!
