The ChillOut Festival, which began on Thursday, reached peak frivolity on Sunday when the much-loved parade took over Vincent Street. It was a show of diversity and inclusion by individuals and LGBTI community groups from around the state.
More than 50 events on the program provided entertainment for five days of queer pride festivities.
Among the highlights were festival ambassador and former Big Brother contestant, farmer Dave Graham, renowned country singer and winner of 11 Golden Guitars, Beccy Cole, and tribute act Killer Queen.
Sunday's ChillOut Carnival was a fun day for all, featuring music, women's circus, a dog show, workshops, stalls and country games.
Festival events ended on Monday with a recovery party and lunch.
