OUT in the OPEN Festival Shepparton

About

OUTintheOPEN is Shepparton’s festival celebrating LGBTI+ pride and community diversity.

OUTintheOPEN was developed to address some of the inequalities faced by the local lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex plus gender/sexuality diverse (LGBTI+) communities and to build a more inclusive community in Greater Shepparton.
