Fairday and Dog Show ’25

Dates & Times:

Saturday, 1st March 2025 @ 10:00am
Albany Town Square

Albany Pride Fairday is the heart of our Pride Festival celebrations! Join us in the Albany Town Square for a family-friendly day of celebration with DJ Her Highness, our hilarious annual Dog Show, over 25 market stalls and food vans, and other roving entertainment.

Market stalls at Fairday will once again include organisations who provide support and services to the LGBTIQA+ community, as well as various businesses and groups who recognise the value of supporting diversity. 

Local food vans will be offering a variety of sweet and savoury treats, and a coffee van will supply all your takeaway caffeine needs!

Bring your friendly dogs (on lead) and your whole family to enjoy Town Square being turned into a catwalk for pooches and a colourful playground for everyone. Auslan interpreters will be present to interpret our MC, music and the Dog Show!
