Big Gay BBQ 5: Rainbow Nation

  • Post category:

Welcome back to our FIFTH instalment of the annual Big Gay BBQ! We are delighted by the ever growing support and excitement for this event year after year. The Big Gay BBQ is intended to raise awareness for International Day Against Homophobia, Biphobia, and Transphobia, which falls on May 17 every year. We hold our BBQ a week early because May 17 is a long weekend, and people tend to go camping and be out of town. Join us on Saturday, May 10, 2025 from 12pm to 3pm at the Lower Hume Park Picnic Area in New Westminster (by car, enter where North Road becomes East Columbia Street, north of Holmes Street; 660 EAST Columbia Street). The park is easily accessible from Braid Skytrain Station and is also serviced by the 109 bus! Just make sure you are navigating to LOWER Hume Park Picnic Area! While the event is technically free, we have a tradition of collecting donations on-site which are given to Saige Community Food Bank and Rainbow Refugee! Donations are cash only at the event, and any amount is welcomed! Please RSVP by clicking the "GOING" button near the bottom of the page so we can get a sense of how much food we need! See you there!
