Bring YES! Fest to Canberra
When Australia voted for marriage equality in 2017, Canberrans took to the streets to celebrate the triumph of love and equality.
This year on November 17, Yes! Fest will bring the same spirit to the streets of Braddon on the anniversary of the postal vote.
We need your help to do it!
The money raised here will help us to close the street for the night, pay our performers, transform Lonsdale street and create a celebration worthy of the occasion!
We want a festival that runs down Lonsdale street to the rainbow roundabout. There will be: urban picnic and community fair during the day at the roundabout and an epic street party into the night.
You can be a part of history by donating to support the Yes! Fest. Together we can create a celebration to mark this momentous anniversary.
