Why Come Along?
Whether you’re part of a rainbow family or showing your support, this is a safe and welcoming space where everyone belongs. Expect connection, laughter, and a day filled with colour and care.

What to Bring
We recommend bringing a picnic rug or something comfy to sit on — the event will be held in the park.
Thanks to The Somewhere Co., we’ll also have a few beautiful Sunset Soiree Leisure Rugs available on the day. If you don’t have your own, you’re very welcome to share.

A Few Quick Notes

• We’ll be taking photos during the event, but you’re welcome to opt out if you prefer not to be photographed.

• Please be mindful of others’ privacy — don’t post photos of other children without permission, and we ask that you do not share images of Euphoria Social team members’ children.

Who This Is For

This space is specifically for LGBTQIAPN+ families who are actively raising children — including:

• Parents, guardians, carers, and grandparents

• Chosen family members involved in raising children

• Co-parents or extended family support systems

All family structures and identities are welcome. If you play a meaningful caregiving or supportive role in a child’s life, this space is for you.

Allies are warmly welcome, whether you're a partner, relative, or friend supporting a rainbow family, your presence is valued and appreciated. We warmly welcome ally families to join us! Kids from ally families can play an important role in helping raise awareness and normalise rainbow families, just by showing up, being kind, and celebrating all the beautiful ways families are made.
