The second major Mardi Gras celebration that promises two weeks of pleasure, link, and celebration will be held in Sydney’s Victoria Park, which will feature sequins, glitz, and glam.
Fair Day has returned to observe gay society, amusement, and imagination with meal, retail, and community stalls, as well as headline acts, karaoke, and a canine pageant.
ACON, the state’s top Transgender health organization, has established a sizable health information hub with a particular focus on cancer screening and physical health.
The pop-up may let revelers test their lung cancer on an inflated, enormous CT machine and have their photos displayed on it.
According to ACON CEO Michael Woodhouse, it’s part of a force to market a new lung cancer screening program for those who have previously stopped smoking heavily.
” One of the great things about Fair Day is the great cross-section of people from all over the group, people from a wide range of origins, age, and nations,” he said.
We want everyone to be aware of the service offered by ACON, and we hope to make them more accessible for those who may never have previously accessed them.
Additionally, the ACON stall will be providing revellers with bulk-billed GP appointments to discuss sexual health, particularly information on PrEP ( pre-exposure prophylaxis ) medication to prevent HIV.
Shoulder and cervical cancer testing will also be provided.
We saw last week’s Fair Day as a great opportunity to offer that service because we met a number of people who had either not been screened or were also late, he said.
ACON spacecraft will also be present to assess attendees ‘ moods at the Fair Day and provide if necessary health care.
It’s really for folks who might be a little wet during the day, and we like to keep an eye on everyone in the garden to make sure all is safe, according to Mr. Woodhouse.
Janice Robinson, the American singer-songwriter, Blusher, the Melbourne music band, Courtney Act, Kath Ebbs, and James Alexandr are among the title acts taking to the major stage.
Ecstatica, a rallying call to obtain, link, and march for presence, inclusion, and self-expression, is the theme of this year’s Mardi Gras.
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is still one of the biggest Transgender events in the world, having celebrated 48 times since 1978’s first gay rights festival.
