PrideFEST, Perth’s annual celebration of queer culture begins on Saturday 2nd November with the popular Fairday event.

This year the community event returns to Hyde Park and over 100 community and business stalls will be featured in the presentation.

There will be a fully serviced bar, heaps of food trucks, rides and activities for the kids and adults, live music, DJ’s and drag shows.  The heats for the popular Dog Show will begin at 12:30pm and will be judged by vet Dr Oisin Tracey.

Fairday is the first event in a month long schedule of film screenings, cabaret performances and community events, leading up to the iconic Pride Parade through Northbridge at the end of the month.

The festival has grown substantially over the last few years as Pride has secured the backing of a wide range of sponsors. The group recently welcomed Retravision, Rottnest Cruises and Woodside as sponsors of the festival.

Tickets to Fairday can be purchased in advance via Eventbrite.
