Albany Pride Festival is back for 2024, taking place 22nd February to 4th March.

The theme for 2024 is “We are Family” – a celebration and recognition of our strength as a community, the support we can offer each other in the face of opposition and attempts to divide us, an understanding of our Queer history of holding each up and accountable, and the incredible intersectional diversity that exists within our broad, beautiful Queer family.

A thank you to our wonderful Pride 2024 team:

Millie Reid (She/Her) – Festival Coordinator
Karen Timmins (She/Her) – Marketing Coordinator & Sponsorship Team

BarbieQ

BarbieQ is Albany Pride royalty – first performing at Albany Pride Festival back in 2017, and returning each year since!

BarbieQ is renowned in the drag performance community, with over twenty years in the industry. She’s a multi-award winner, a dancer since the age of thirteen (with a five year career as a dancer for Princess Cruises in the USA) and is the Entertainment Manager for Connections Nightclub in Perth.

If that’s not enough, BarbieQ is also a regular Fringe Festival performer in Perth, which shows such as The Madonna Circus: ReInvention and Drag Diva Spectacular.

It’s always an absolute delight to welcome BarbieQ back to Albany, who amazes our audiences with her artistry, moves, sharp wit, and delightfully vulgar language!

Alyce Schotte

Alyce Schotte, the Senior Relationship Manager at ACON Pride in Diversity, is a formidable champion for change in the Western Australian community, especially for those of a diverse sexual orientation or gender identity.

A woman with a transgender experience, Alyce’s pursuit to find her authentic self was a journey that began in her childhood in the regional town of Katanning, and one that continued into adulthood for many years.

“Growing up in a country town in the 80’s, I knew I was different, but aside from the feeling, I had no exposure to any language or knowledge surrounding what it meant to have gender diversity in my identity. I followed a path well-travelled and endured the emotional toll to the precipice of my resilience threshold.”
