Queer Square - a free day party on Solstice.
Come and help VFD celebrate a new phase in our 18-year history . This year we are becoming a charity which will allow us to continue serving the needs of our Queer community and intersectional allies.
This is a period of change and challenges for us as we move from profit-making to offering more free services and events.
This is a party, an activation, a call to our community to come and share the LOVE.
