Mardi Gras Fair Day!
Fair Day is the ultimate way to kick off the official Mardi Gras season, with a fun and relaxed day out in the
park with friends and family, even your pets! Up to 70,000 people routinely turn out to sit on the grass, browse the stalls, enjoy
the wide range of delicacies available at the stalls, have a few drinks, but most of all, catch up with old friends - and make some
new ones.
The Gender Centre will once again be running a stall providing information about our service and the services that
we provide to the gender questioning community of New South Wales. Come along and be part of the fun!
