Summer Gay Day 2008
Last year’s inaugural Summer Gay Day planted the seeds of something special on the Sydney calendar. Now, in its second year, we’re making sure the Summer Gay Day flower blooms as beautifully as possible.
On Saturday November 29, Summer Gay Day lands at Kippax Lake, Moore Park for our second year of Gay Day fun. The event blazed into the calendar last Summer, and this time things are heating up with two powerful dance music stages, featuring the sweetest local and international talent on offer.
In 2008, Summer Gay Day is brighter than ever. So pull out your speedos, strap on your lifesaving cap and get set to dance the day away at this outdoor dance party in the park.
The most exciting event to hit Sydney last year is back for 2008. But don’t just take our word for it, here is a taste of the feedback we received after last years inaugural event.
Last years feedback:
“It was an absolute blast. I had one of the greatest times ever. My new favourite day. I can't wait until next years!”
“For what it's worth from me, this was the best gay event I've been to in over five years, and the word of the street afterwards was I didn't run into anyone who had anything bad to say about it. So many smiling faces and new friends made, and a great change from the usual fare offered up.”
“I'm still on a buzz from the weekend, Summer Gay Day was that good. I'm really looking forward to next time.”
“It was such a great venue and such a great day!”
“What an outstanding event ! Congratulations to the organisers for showing Sydney the standard of Party I've only seen previously in Europe. It's about time that the Sydney party scene started evolving and you guys have set a new benchmark for others to follow.”
“A few of us came up from Melbourne for the weekend and had a great time. Thanks for a kick ass day”
“Just got in from one of the best days of my life I reckon. Arrived after the rain had stopped and danced, drank, talked and smiled through the next few hours of brilliant. I did not want to end when it was all over, really amazing Gay Day team. Next year the sun will come out!”
“We loved it. I hope it becomes a regular fixture on our calendar. Congratulations on an awesome party.”
“Summer Gay Day was so much fun I think if the heavens had opened up and swept us all into the harbour we would have died very happy indeed! We need to fight to retain every inch gained since the very 1st Mardi Gras and what better way to do it than with a vodka in your hand, a smile on your face and the company of great mates! Loved it!”
“What a great party, well organised and run. We had the best time and look foward to next year. This is just what we need.”
“Me and my friends had a ball - there was plenty to see and do, when the sun went down the dancefloor in the middle of the party filled up and the crowd was loving it.”
“I had a wicked time! Arrived at 4, no rain. friendly staff. Ten out of ten!”
“It was a truly fantastic day. The light rain early on cleared up and I had a ball.
Sydney so needs events like this.”
“I had so much fun!! Such a spot on venue, the music was hot. Can't wait for Summer Gay Day 2008.”
“Everything was fantastic. I know the weather may have been a bit drab at first, but I can't tell you how much fun me and my mate had there. Great job by all involved! Thanks guys and gals!”
“We had heaps of fun - it was a fantastic day thank you! Everyone was happy and friendly. Lots of people smiling and holding hands - the fences were loved by everyone we chatted to - it felt safe and like our place – thank you thank you THANKYOU! x See you next year!”
“IT ROCKED! :-) Can't thank you enough. Got me really excited for summer.”
“We had a fabulous time. Congratulations to the Summer Gay Day team, what a hit!”
“No pushing, shoving, attitude, bullshit crap - just a few thousand people in an area to share their love of each other and their community...... In my opinion - the PERFECT Summer Gay Day....”
“I give you fifteen thumbs up. Thank you for a brilliant day, and congrats on making it happen. The rain departed early, the crowds rolled in, and the atmosphere was phenomenal. Looking forward to the next one!”
“A really brilliant time was had by all. Thanks for adding a really great date to Sydney's gay calendar. Can't wait to do it all again next year.”

“Great space, great people and important great music! What more can you ask for!!”
“SGD gets 11/10 from me. 1 extra point cause it actually felt a little bit like summer for the last few hours, compared to the beginning.”
“Fun packed event and music was totally rocking. Look forward to 2008.”
