SpringOut Fairday is the largest and highest profile LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender) community event in Canberra. It is an inclusive event that celebrates the diversity, colour and vibrancy of Canberra.



SpringOut Fairday 2010 will run from 12 noon to 5 pm on Saturday 30 October, on the lawns of Westlund House. It will be bigger than ever this year - don't miss it for anything!
There will be tons of stalls from businesses and community groups. It will be a great day to find out what is going on in the Canberra queer community, as well as pick up some great gifts.
Lots of great food including delicious cakes and sweet things, gourmet ice-cream, greek cuisine, and of course a sausage sizzle, cold drinks and hot coffee!
