Ready for a jam-packed day of FREE entertainment? The annual Mardi Gras Fair Day is back and bigger than ever this weekend, returning to the leafy Victoria Park on Sunday, February 16th 2020.

But music isn’t the only entertainment on offer at Fair Day. Head for The Area from 10am-2pm to experience Doggywood, showcasing a Mardi Gras-themed dog shows hosted by Naomi Palmer. Expect plenty of wagging tails and fun as these pooches strut their stuff in the hopes of winning the title of Best Dressed and Most Talented. Plus, make sure to look out for the debut appearance of the Guide Dog Puppy Preschool Sessions, showcasing the newest recruits at Guide Dogs NSW/ACT.

Through Victoria Park you’ll find a dozen dedicated hubs and stalls, showcasing everything from pop-up bars to rainbow dance floors and so much more.
