Come and celebrate Bi+ Pride Day with Victoria’s multi-gender-attracted community. This will be a relaxed community gathering with a focus on social connection. We’ll be playing barefoot bowls, contributing to a community art project, and making many bad puns.
Finger food will be provided, finger guns are optional!

Respect for First Nations people: This event welcomes First Nations people. Melbourne Bisexual Network acknowledges the Wurundjeri People as the Traditional Owners of the lands on which this event will occur and we pay our respect to their Elders. We recognise that this event is occurring on stolen lands and that sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be Aboriginal land.
