Get ready to paint the town with all the colours of love, as over 70,000 spirited souls descend upon Victoria Park on Sunday, February 18th for the most fabulous Fair Day ever! It's a day-to-night celebration where our LGBTQIA+SB community takes centre stage, and we're inviting you to be part of the joyous spectacle.

As the sun rises, so does the excitement! Imagine a vibrant playground with dapper dogs strutting their stuff, DJs spinning infectious beats, and dance floors that beckon you to bust a move. 200 stalls, a smorgasbord of food, retail therapy, and a sprinkle of community spirit.

With six stages and six bars, you won't just be entertained, but also hydrated – because a party without a refreshing beverage is just a meeting!

The Unmissable Lineup:
Get ready to groove with 3URIE, feel the vibes with Alex Dugan, and be mesmerised by Carmen Geddit. The beats will keep coming from a stellar lineup that includes the likes of LION, Maxi Shield, and the fabulous Wonder Mama. From DJs to drag queens, our performers are set to dazzle and make Fair Day 2024 an unforgettable experience.

First Nations Circle - A Celebration of Blak Excellence:
In partnership with BlaQ Aboriginal Corporation, the First Nations Circle is back, showcasing Blak-owned businesses, vibrant cultural performances, and an opportunity to immerse yourself in the richness of First Nations culture. Come, shop, learn, and be captivated by the incredible talent on display throughout the day.

Doggywood - Where Pooches Steal the Spotlight:
Pampered pooches, listen up! Doggywood, the campest dog pageant, is making a triumphant return for its third year. Is your furry friend ready to dazzle the crowd and take home a coveted category? Registrations open soon, so get your paws ready to strut the runway!

Trans Camp - A Grand Debut:
Breaking new ground in 2024, Trans Camp is a Fair Day-first where the transgender and gender diverse community comes together around the fire. Explore businesses, engage with community groups, and celebrate the unique creativity within this vibrant community.

Karaoke Cave - Belt Out Your Favorite Tunes:
As the sun sets, the Optus Arena transforms into the Karaoke Cave – a first for Fair Day! Grab the mic, unleash your inner diva, and let the music be your guide in this karaoke extravaganza.

Drag King Games - The Crown Awaits:
Sho Mawood's reign is coming to an end, and the American Express Main Stage is set for the grand finale – the Drag King Games! From weight lifting to bingo calls, the competition is fierce, and a new king is ready to claim the throne. Get ready for a spectacle that's hotter than ever!

**Accessibility Note:
