VENUE: Glebe Park, Canberra City 
PRICE: Free

It’s time to connect with your tribe! Don’t miss Canberra FairDay presented by SpringOUT and MERIDIAN.

This is a free one-day outdoor event in Glebe Park filled with entertainment from Australia’s finest performing artists, a village of market stalls representing our diverse community organisations and local businesses, plus it is showcasing Canberra’s finest food and wines produced within the region. 

Fair Day aims to a safe and welcoming space for LGBTIQA+ attendees to affirm and celebrate their pride. The event also aims to recognise the contributions that LGBTIQA+ individuals and groups make to the cultural fabric of the Canberra region and beyond. Fresh Out also provides a valuable opportunity for the region to showcase its inclusive and welcoming attitude to the broader tourism market. The first day of the SpringOUT festival also provides an important opportunity for the community to come together and reaffirm its sense of cohesion and support for all members. Fair Day is more than an event, it is an educational, cultural, and creative space that encourages freedom of expression for people of all genders, sexualities and relationships.
