Why We Rally Here
This isn’t just a picnic – it’s a living protest turned celebration. Since 1990, Fair Day has evolved from a political rally into a vibrant tradition where –
- Gen Z activists swap strategies with Mardi Gras ’78er veterans
- Dogs wear more pride gear than their owners
- Allies see why “quiet support” isn’t enough
”Bringing my kids here taught them more about love than any school ever could.
