There’s something for everyone at this year’s OUTintheOPEN

WITH 11 events over four huge days, visitors and locals alike have countless opportunities to celebrate LGBTI+ pride and community diversity in all its forms across Shepparton, at this year’s OUTintheOPEN Festival.

Festival director, Damien Stevens said, “OUTintheOPEN kicks off on Thursday, November 1 with The Gathering at Noble Monks.

“Returning to the Queens Gardens this year with over 50 market stalls, food vendors, live entertainers, fun attractions, and a live ONE FM radio broadcast, this family-friendly event makes a great, free day out for everyone.

“Friday, November 2 offers three health/well-being events all hosted at GOTAFE. Following at 8pm you can enjoy the film, Untold Histories.

“If Carnival Day on Saturday is not your thing, check out Greater Shepparton’s rainbow-flag covered CBD for great restaurants, awesome shopping and other attractions on offer in the region. Or, have a late lunch and cheeky bevvy with the Dykes on Bikes Melbourne in the Queens Garden’s make-shift food-court before 5:30pm on Saturday afternoon, or head over to The Aussie Hotel and from 6pm grab some snacks and sips before Shepparton’s biggest GLITZ PARTY upstairs (from 8pm to 1am).

“Wake to a beautiful Earth Meditation on Sunday, November 4 in the Queens Gardens from 9:30am sharp, before a scrumptious big community brunch at Lemon Tree Café on Fryers Street at 11am hosted by Goulburn Valley Pride.”
