November 12, 2026 By Roxane Manley

Attendees at the 2025 International Men’s Day in Forbes.

Get excited, because you are invited to join in celebrating International Men’s Day on Friday 20 November 2026 from 7:30am to 9.30am at Victoria Park, Harold Street, Forbes.

International Men’s Day, 19 November, is a global event celebrating men and boys, positive role models, and men’s health and wellbeing. The theme for 2026 is “The Future is Everyone”.

Forbes Shire Council invite you to be part of this meaningful morning – whether by attending, hosting a stall, sharing the event with your networks, or simply showing support for the men and boys in our community.

Whether you’re catching up with mates, listening to inspiring stories, learning about local support services, or simply showing your support, everyone is welcome.

This special event is dedicated to supporting men and boys in our community, promoting awareness around men’s health, and building connections.

Highlights will include Guest speakers, Local Service Providers, and ice bath for the brave with Talk 2 Me Bro. There will be coffee available and breakfast for all to enjoy cooked by Forbes & District Lions Club.

Let’s come together to celebrate, connect, and support each other. This is a free community event – no tickets needed, just come along and enjoy! For more information, please contact events@forbes.nsw.gov.au or phone the Events Officer on 6850 2300.
