Blue September Events

A month of community action

The Blue September calendar brings together walks, gigs, shows and social days across the country. Each listed event shares information about or supports prostate cancer, and events held outside of September are also considered for the calendar.

Every September, Blue September turns the country blue to raise awareness of prostate cancer and the men, families and friends who live with it. The colour becomes a shared symbol that communities wear, decorate and gather around, turning a quiet health issue into something visible and widely discussed. The campaign brings together people from Australia, New Zealand, the USA, the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, showing how a single month of action can stretch across different places and cultures while speaking to a common cause.

The event calendar is where that awareness turns into real activity. Across the month, communities host Dawn Walks, motorbike shows, charity gigs, social days and Blue Friday gatherings. Each listing on the calendar shares information about prostate cancer, and events held outside September can still be considered for inclusion, so anyone with an idea can be part of the wider effort. From early morning walks to evening concerts, there is a format to suit almost every kind of group, from families and work teams to clubs and local associations.

Taking part in a Blue September event is simple and open to everyone, whether you are organising something yourself or joining an existing event. Registration helps organisers plan, and the wider network of community stories and updates keeps participants connected throughout the month and beyond. The calendar also makes it easy for people to discover activities near them, encouraging a spread of local events rather than a single central one. Even small gatherings can make a meaningful difference when they add up to a country-wide picture of support and solidarity.

Beyond the calendar itself, Blue September is about ongoing community action and fundraising for prostate cancer support. Organising a sponsored walk, hosting a music night, or rallying colleagues for a Blue Friday event all contribute to the same purpose of helping men affected by prostate cancer and raising much-needed awareness. People can also contribute directly to the cause by donating, sharing event details with friends, and reading the latest community stories published on the news pages of the site.
