Midsumma Festival 2025
Australia's premier queer arts and cultural festival will return in 2025, running from Sunday 19th January 2025 - Sunday 9th February 2025.
Australia's premier LGBTQIA+ arts and cultural experience returns with signature annual Midsumma events.
Major events:
Sunday 19 January 2025: Midsumma Carnival
Sunday 2 February 2025: Midsumma Pride March
Sunday 9 February 2025: Victoria's Pride Street Party
Midsumma Festival brings together a diverse mix of LGBTQIA+ artists, performers, communities and audiences across 100 Melbourne venues and iconic event spaces.
Midsumma Festival has been held annually since 1988. Melbourne's Queer community and friends come together for this collaborative, innovative celebration of queer arts and culture, presented over three weeks every year.
We are the intersection between generations, people, ideas, stories and experiences - a focal point for connections and belonging. We create inclusive and safe social spaces. We value diversity and we embrace difference. We increase our communities' profiles and amplify the stories that might otherwise not be seen, heard or felt.
Although the primary three-week festival is held in summer each year, Midsumma works year-round to provide artists, social-changers and culture-makers with support and tools to create, present and promote their work. Midsumma Festival brings a diverse mix of artists, performers, communities and audiences together under a single umbrella for a celebration and innovative presentation of queer arts and culture.
We hope you enjoy our diverse festival program, made up of visual arts, theatre, spoken word, cabaret, film, live music, parties, sport, social events and public forums and events in over 100 different venues.
Midsumma Year Round
In addition to the well-known festival, normally held in January and February, Midsumma is also involved all year round in nurturing artists and creating opportunities for their professional development, with particular emphasis on assisting those in our communities who suffer discrimination or disadvantage.
