FLYING THE RAINBOW FLAG The City of Salisbury is one of 27 SA councils that fly the rainbow flag to show support for LGBTIQ+ people, their families and allies living in the community. Flying the rainbow flag actively contributes to the health and wellbeing of the whole community and is a symbolic way for councils to acknowledge its role in promoting and celebrating diversity. The flag is flown in November for the Feast Festival and Pride Month in June.
