Nimbin MardiGrass
2016-04-29 - 2016-05-01 | 51 Cullen St, Nimbin, New South Wales, Australia
For those who came in late…
“In March 1993, after a decade of raids and arrests, and a particularly intensive recent period of random street searches, arrests and rough treatment, a spontaneous demonstration erupted, and marched to the police station, pelting it with eggs and toilet paper. Negative newspaper reports followed.
Nimbin Hemp Embassy (formerly “Nimbin Hemp”) members decided to hold a peaceful protest in a non-confrontational atmosphere, that ordinary people could comfortably attend, on May 1, 1993.
That was the first MardiGrass. (The spelling is that officially used by the MardiGrass Organising Body) The MOB was formed to manage the event and consists entirely of volunteers. The intention is to hold a MardiGrass every year until prohibition ends.”
Our Mission: To bring about change by the most entertaining means possible.
End Cannabis Prohibition. Annual Australian Cannabis law reform rally and gathering on the first weekend of May.
