FROCKS, fun and fabulous festivities will take over Tasmania when the 20th TasPride Festival kicks off on Friday.
Guests will be treated to an opening night cruise on the River Derwent, hosted by Irish drag icon Panti.
The festival features a range of events over its nine-day run, including a burlesque show on Saturday and a series of discussions on equality and law reform next week.
The annual Pride Parade will hit Hobart streets next Saturday, November 24, with participants marshalling outside the Playhouse Theatre in Bathurst St from 11.30am for a noon start.
The march will culminate in a community gathering on Parliament House lawns, where TasPride's 20th rainbow birthday cake will be cut for all to share.
TasPride president Dean Duggan said the festival was the result of more than nine months of hard work.
"The actual events, as they're happening, are the easy part," Mr Duggan said.
"It's all the preparation, with all of our volunteers, that's the hard part."
Mr Duggan said the festival would provide an opportunity for the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, intersex and queer (GLBTIQ) community to celebrate their diversity.
