Description

Non-Monogamy Visibility Day is celebrated internationally for a whole week.

18 July 1-7 PM

Let’s make it a big, happy and inclusive event and meet together in Victoria Park for a summer celebration of love in all its abundant manifestations. 

We ask for your active involvement – if you want to volunteer in organising the event, offer an artistic performance, or help out on the day, please reach out.
Important:
This is a community event, not a place for cruising and pickup.
People will have very different personal boundaries and may present differently to their gender.
Check-in with people’s pronouns and their comfort level around hugging, touch and personal space.
If you feel that anyone is making you feel uncomfortable in any way, please speak to one of the organisers and volunteers who will make themselves known.
  • We will share a pin for the location in an email to all those who register and have a dedicated Telegram group thread to share info in real time.
  • Bring a picnic blanket
  • If you are bringing food to share please label for any allergens
  • BRING your own reusable CUP 

Location

Access to Victoria Park via Bonner Gate on the West side. The location is partially secluded and is off the main cycle/walking path, close to the pond and the Pavillion Cafe.
