Rainbow on the Plains is a festival of fun, support, inclusion and celebration of our local and visiting lesbian, gay, bi, trans and intersex communities, their friends and families. We celebrate with a street parade and party, alongside various community events.
In March 2018 Hay hosted the inaugural ‘Rainbow on the Plains Festival’.
Originally envisaged as a simple idea for a group of friends to gather and watch the 40th anniversary Sydney parade, the concept was quickly embraced by supporters across the globe.
In a few short months a three day festival was organised.
We partied again in 2019, until Covid-19 burst our balloon and the 2020 and 2021 festivals did not go ahead but new dates are set for 25-27 November 2022.
