Tamworth Pride Inc Fair Day
Saturday 21 September 2024
Overview
Tamworth Pride Inc's Fair Day is a family-friendly event, that helps to bring recognition and visibility to the local LGBTQIA+ community.
This year's theme is Superheroes by Day and Villians by Night, which was chosen to highlight the strength and resilience of the LGBTQIA+ community and provide a fun and family friendly atmosphere for our Fair Day and then a more adult theme, for the over 18 year old after party.
The event in previous years has drawn crowds of over 2000 people and has been well supported by the local Tamworth population. With over 40 stalls, quality entertainment, games and lots more, it's a fun-filled day in which everyone will find something they will resonate with.
