Scene City Magazine and the Festival co produced a community wide event on October 28th called Mr Gay Dublin 2006. This event brought together the biggest gathering of commercial and community organisations ever to raise money for Round Tower Housing Association which provides independent living spaces for people with HIV/AIDS and the BeLong To youth development project.18 finalists fundraised and competed in the final, which was presented by Brendan Courtney, and held in The George.
