Not just the family youโ€™re born into, but the family you find.
The friends who become your people.
The community that shows up, lifts you up, and makes you feel at home exactly as you are.

In Hay, family means connection. It means looking after each other. It means creating a space where everyone โ€” locals, visitors, allies, and our beautiful LGBTQIA+ community โ€” feels welcomed, seen, and celebrated.

2026 is all about honouring those bonds, telling our stories, and filling the Plains with the love that only a true community can create.

Rainbow on the Plains is home. And this year, home feels brighter than ever.

Happy International Non-Binary Peopleโ€™s Day ๐Ÿ’›๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ–ค

Today recognises all those who are outside of the gender binary!

Non-binary people have always existed, and we celebrate all the ways to live authentically beyond gender norms and constructs.

There's no one way to be non-binary, and that's what makes it so special.
