Pride Business Association,<\/a> will move to Rydges World Square as organisers aim to expand the event\u2019s reach and accessibility.<\/p>\nStallholder registrations have now opened ahead of the event, which has become a growing showcase for queer owned businesses, creators and entrepreneurs across Sydney.<\/p>\n
Buy Rainbow expands with new CBD home<\/p>\n
Now in its third year since relaunching, Buy Rainbow has evolved into one of Sydney\u2019s key LGBTQIA+ business events, bringing together retailers, artists, professional services and community led enterprises in a dedicated marketplace focused on supporting the rainbow economy.<\/p>\n
The move into the centre of Sydney comes as LGBTQIA+ business networks continue pushing for greater visibility and economic inclusion, particularly following years of disruption for many queer owned small businesses during the pandemic and broader cost of living pressures.<\/p>\n
Pride Business Association President Jarrod Lomas said the event plays a much larger role than simply operating as a market.<\/p>\n
\u201cBuy Rainbow is about much more than a market. It is about visibility, connection and economic participation,\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cLGBTQIA+ owned and operated businesses are part of the fabric of this city. They create jobs, build community, support our events and contribute to Sydney\u2019s cultural and economic life.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cTaking Buy Rainbow to Rydges World Square gives us a bigger platform to showcase that contribution and to help more people discover, support and buy from LGBTQIA+ businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n
Ahead of the major October event, Buy Rainbow will also collaborate with Qtopia Sydney and the Oxford Street Markets during Pride Fest for a one-day popup event on May 30.<\/p>\n
Organisers say the pop-up will celebrate Sydney\u2019s historic Oxford Street queer precinct while giving the community an early preview of what to expect later this year.<\/p>\n
Buy Rainbow 2026 will take place on Saturday October 17 from 10am to 4pm at Rydges World Square in Sydney\u2019s CBD.
