The event is being organised by Crossenvale Community House, thanks to a grant from Campaspe Shire, in support of International Day Against Homophobia, Transphobia and Biphobia on Friday.
People can meet at the Campaspe Shire Council office in Heygarth St at noon on Thursday, to start walking over the bridge to Moama.
The flag raising will be held at Kerrabee Soundshell at 12.30pm which will be followed by a light lunch and refreshments.
House co-ordinator Sheridan Clark said the event was the first step in making the LGBTQ+ community visible and council and the community showing their support.
‘‘It’s a great achievement for our community house to lead this in our community but also be involved in a much needed and rewarding project,’’ she said.
‘‘The community have been amazing and so supportive already and our LGBTQ+ group are great leaders and proactive in wanting change in their community. It’s a great thing to be part of.
‘‘It’s fantastic to promote diversity among our community, connect with other LGBTQ+ people, but also learn more about LGBTI issues and resources for people to access.’’
