🏳️‍🌈YES! FEST at yours 15 November 2020 🏳️‍🌈

💖7 pm live show at Hopscotch with AUSLAN 💖

🕺🏾We wanna dance with someone who loves us. 💃

It’s been three years since the nation gathered around our screens to hear the outcome of the Australian marriage equality postal survey.

In what might’ve been a cruel blow for LGBTIQ+ Australians, marriage equality instead won the support of the Australian people and the biggest YES! vote in the land was recorded right here in Canberra with a 74% affirmative vote.

That night, we danced until the wee hours on Lonsdale Street in celebration and Australia’s new queer festival, YES! Fest was born.

We continued that tradition in both November 2018 and 2019 and grew to become a day and a night festival. YES! Fest became an event that the whole city could be proud of and one that LGBTIQ+ people from around the country want to visit.

This year, a year, unlike any other, we are determined to share our pride and our joy again in the only way we know-how, by coming together and celebrating how resilient and fabulous we are!
