Alcohol will be put to the side for the evening as we have our fill of fun, arts, culture, creativity and diversity in a safe and welcoming environment. Aside from the high quality entertainment on stage there will be street performers, family friendly food options and more.

Doors Open at 4.30pm, the show starts at 5pm and will be over at 9pm, just in time to get the little gig- goers to bed or to continue your celebrations in this wonderful city we call home.
