The Rainbow on the Plains is a festival of fun, support, inclusion and celebration of LGBTQIA community, people from culturally diverse communities and anyone who loves to celebrate inclusion.
Throughout the Festival weekend, you can expect an all-ages concert packed with kid’s entertainment, food vendors and incredible entertainment, a street parade full of colour and cheer, a Fair Day for all to sit back and enjoy or do a little shopping, an adult only after party with DJs, drag performers and much more and the annual Rainbow on the Plains Pride Cup.
This year’s Festival is themed Reflections, this is to show where they have come from, look at the growth, and successes and highlight the community and families that offer support. The community loves welcoming everyone to their Festival from far and wide, and they hope you can join them as well.
