Greyhound Racing Victoria and the Greyhound Adoption Program are partnering with Sportsbet this year to march at the Midsumma Festival.

The Midsumma Pride March, to be held Sunday 2 February in Fitzroy Street, St Kilda, is the place to celebrate all gender expressions, sexualities, experiences, and personalities with colours, sparkle and style.

This year, Sportsbet is offering greyhound adopters and racing participants the opportunity to join forces and march together down Fitzroy Street in a kilometre-long parade route to Catani Gardens. The march begins with the roaring motors of the Dykes on Bikes as per tradition. The march itself is led by the Boon Wurrung Elders, Rainbow Aboriginal Float and LGBTQIA+ youth.

You’ll be greeted at the end of the march with free entertainment, and festivities, including DJs and live performances by the iconic St Kilda beachside.

Greyhounds are most certainly welcome. Please note, no significant GRV or GAP branding is to be worn, however registrants will be provided with a rainbow paw-print tee shirt.

Register your interest here by Monday 27 January, with more details to be provided closer to the date.
