FAQ entry 7.01:

Is there any dress code for Pinkfest? What should I plan to bring to wear?

We ask that you dress in a presentable manner, in good taste, and in a manner appropriate to the activity at hand, while with the group. We also ask that you refrain from dressing or acting in a manner intended to flaunt transgenderism or in a manner intended primarily to attract attention.

Since most Pinkfest activities occur in general public settings, your dress must be age-appropriate, size-appropriate, and occasion-appropriate; within the bounds of what is usual and customary to be worn by a woman (or man) of your size and age to such an activity.

For the daytime (shopping and touristy things), very casual to casual attire is best, either boymode or girlmode.

For most of the evening activities, casual to moderately dressy attire, either boymode or girlmode, is acceptable.

More specific discussions on what to bring, and what to wear for the various activities occur in the Pinkfest Mailing List.


And what about Galiano [sic] ?

Looks like somebody forgot to edit this one out of the FAQ list. :)
