We Love Fair Day!
Mardi Gras are expecting Fair Day 2009 to be one of the biggest ever, given that it’s not only going to be the popular day in the park you love, it’ll also be the official launch of the Mardi Gras season.
New Mardi Gras Chair David Imrie said, “Fair Day has proven itself year after year to be one of the favourite Mardi Gras events so it makes sense to mark the launch of the whole season in front of what we expect to be a massive crowd.”
This year Fair Day will feature a new space called the ‘Play Pen’ (no, it’s not a backroom!) where there will be a variety of games including a bucking bronco and giant Twister. In keeping with the ‘Nations United’ theme, there will be a new gourmet food and wine area, and there will also be a espresso set up for those who want a ‘real coffee’.
Launch kicks off on the main stage from midday and will be hosted by well known performer Shauna Jensen and broadcaster Julie McCrossin. Sydney Lord Mayor Clover Moore will be there, and Neighbour Day founder and GLBTI advocate Andrew Heslop will provide the keynote address. Charlotte Dawson will be judging the Mr and Ms Fair Day competition.
The entertainment line up will include pop band Chasing Bailey, Melbourne electro pop trio She Said Yes, the Prince Of Polyester Bob Downe, Melbourne singer Brecik, The Super Supremes and the final of the AXN Australia’s Next Gay Cover Model competition.
Bitch will be doing the much loved Lounge Tent again, the Doggywood pooch show is back, this year with free dog obedience training sessions.
The Bank Hotel in Newtown will be hosting the official after party, and anyone who has gone along to these recoveries knows just how much fun they are. Highly recommended!
Fair Day will be held in Camperdown’s Victoria Park on Sunday 15 February from 11am. Fair Day is a licensed event and no glass or alcohol can be bought onto the park.
