OUT in the OPEN Festival Shepparton

About

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

OUTintheOPEN was developed to address some of the inequalities faced by the local LGBTIQA+ community and to build a more inclusive and equitable community in City of Greater Shepparton and surrounds. As a major project led by Goulburn Valley Pride Inc. (GV Pride) it’s now in its thirteenth year, and hosts a variety of events annually from community focussed brunches and dinners, to drag shows, live music, queer nature connections and campfire dinners, rainbow Storytime events and author talks, professional learning opportunities, trans clothing swaps, art exhibitions and more.

The main event, Carnival Day, is held annually on the Saturday of the Festival (9^th November 2024). Hosted in the picturesque Queens Gardens, Carnival Day is a free, all-day event with live entertainment, drag, food trucks, queer market stalls, local small business, information, activities for the whole family and so much more. Stallholders and Umbrella event partners are welcome and wanted for each festival.
