The biggest and best-loved community event of the Season, Fair Day, officially launched this year’s Mardi Gras on a glorious sunny Sydney Sunday!
Up to 70,000 turned out to sit on the grass, browse the stalls, gorge themselves on the plethora of delicacies available at the stalls, have a few drinks, but most of all to catch up with old friends – and make some new ones.
A showcase of entertainment was the centrepiece of Fair Day, including performances from Mardi Gras Festival highlights, international DJs and bands, and the return of the AXN Search for a Cover Model competition on the ANZ Main Stage.
The much loved Doggywood dog show got a revamp this year by being moved into the heart of the park. No longer banished to a distant corner, the canine competition – including fantastic games like the obstacle course and owner-mutt look-a-like – was a big hit!
New for 2010 was the Gaydar Lounge Garden, a new relaxed space to chill out away from the hustle of the rest of Fair Day. it was the ideal spot to have a drink and kick back to the sounds of the garden’s own dedicated DJs.
All kinds of community groups used Fair Day as their chance to recruit, provide information, share resources and give things away. You certainly won’t leave empty-handed! You might well come away with a new hobby, a cause you want to commit to or at the very least a fridge magnet!
