Who says nothing ever happens in Canberra? With more than 20 events, there are events for everybody. Check out the calendar on the SpringOut website.
Events in SpringOut are organised by community groups around Canberra. Going along to these events is a great way to find out more about these groups and how to get involved!
The festival is well underway, with the Queer Film Festival kicking off last Friday night, and the Fairday last Saturday - despite the weather.
