Mardi Gras Fair Day 2024

Presented by American Express

Sydney’s most vibrant LGBTQIA+ community event is set to return to the picturesque Victoria Park on Sunday, 18 February 2024. Join us for an all-day rainbow adventure for the whole family!

Fair Day, presented by American Express, is home to a colourful and electric market where stallholders can connect with the LGBTQIA+ community. It’s a fantastic place for community groups to meet and recruit new members, for talented designers to sell wares, for entrepreneurs to trial a new product, for businesses to cultivate new customers, and for farmers and food producers to sell produce and gastronomic delights.

Applications will be assessed during November 2023. If approved, to secure your stall you will have 14 days to make payment, or your stall will be forfeited. For further information and tips applying to be a stallholder at Fair Day please visit our website.

If you have any questions please feel free to email us at fairday.stalls@mardigrasarts.org.au
