It was a colourful weekend for more than 100 community members who attended the council’s annual rainbow picnic.
Held at Berwick’s Old Cheese Factory on Saturday 7 February, over 120 people joined Casey’s Mayor and his family to dance, laugh and celebrate the yearly event in the summer gardens.
“The City of Casey is proud to host events like the Casey Rainbow Picnic, which celebrate the pride, connection and community spirit that make our city so special,” said Mayor Stefan Koomen.
“My family and I were thrilled to be able to join in the celebrations among so many wonderful community members.”
Councillor Kim Ross of the Casuarina ward also attended and joined in the day’s festivities.
Locals who attended the events were also ecstatic of the outcome and meaning behind the festivities.
One local, Danni, championed the inclusivity behind the event.
“A safe and inclusive event where everyone’s true colours could shine,” said Danni.
Katherine echoed this sentiment and is looking forward to next year’s celebration.
“It was a lovely day, so wonderful to see families coming together to celebrate. Can’t wait to do it again next year,” they said.
