Pride Outside LGBTQIA+ Picklemas - Christmas Dress-Up Edition 🎄🎅🏼

Bring your festive spirit and your paddle to Rebound Stadium for a joyous, inclusive pickleball social designed especially for our LGBTQIA+ community. Whether you’re a seasoned player or stepping onto the court for the first time, this event welcomes everyone with open arms — and extra tinsel.

Christmas dress-up is strongly encouraged (think holiday sweaters, elf hats, or your most dazzling sequins — bonus points for rainbow reindeer antlers). You’ll enjoy friendly, casual gameplay under the Queensland sun, with court rotations and mixed-level groups to keep things lively and welcoming.

Between matches, recharge at our onsite cafe offering light snacks and refreshing drinks — perfect for a mid-game pick-me-up. And because no Pride Outside event ends without a celebration, we’ll be heading to Burleigh Town Hotel for post-match drinks and chatter to cap off the afternoon. No pressure to join — but you’d be crazy to miss it.

This is more than just a game — it’s a chance to connect, laugh, and play in a space where you’re free to be exactly who you are. Whether you’re lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, non-binary, queer, intersex, or an awesome ally — you’re part of this family.

Our event is proudly trans-inclusive and sapphic-friendly, built for all genders and expressions to enjoy. Come ready to laugh, sweat, and maybe even accidentally hit a pickleball into a nearby bush. It’s all part of the fun.

Bring your own paddle if you have one (or we’ll have extras available). Wear comfortable shoes and your best holiday vibes. And don’t forget — this is not a tournament. No scorekeeping, no pressure. Just joy, movement, and connection in a safe, celebratory space.

Whether you’re looking to make new friends, get some gentle exercise, or just enjoy a cheerful afternoon with your community — Pride Outside Picklemas is the perfect blend of sport, socialising, and seasonal cheer. Let’s make this Christmas one to remember, one serve at a time.
