Wear it Purple in the Park

The last Friday of August each year is Wear It Purple Day. This year it’s on Friday 25 August.

The day includes numerous events and is all about celebrating and supporting young rainbow people while challenging existing societal attitudes.

The City of Sydney, in partnership with NSW Police Force, Surry Hills Police Area Command and Inner Sydney High School, invite everyone to enjoy an afternoon of fun and games including a tug-o-war with Police, celebrating rainbow young people in Prince Alfred Park.

The event will bring to light the high incidence of mental health issues, access to safe housing, and garnering support and acceptance from community, family, friends and allies.
