Essendon took part among the thousands present in St Kilda on Sunday for the 30^th annual Midsumma Pride march.

Despite the scorching 38-degree day in Melbourne, the Bombers’ contingent, made up of Club staff and Purple Bombers representatives, revelled in the fun and festivity of the event in celebration of the LGBTQIA+ community. 

The Bombers have been regular participants at the march in the last few years.

"We are committed to promoting and advocating an inclusive environment around the Club and within the sporting landscape generally, reflecting the Club’s values of Unity and Respect," Club Executive General Manager - People & Culture Caroline Monzon said.
