Midsumma Festival is Victoria's premier LGBTQIA+ cultural festival, made for and by communities who live with shared experiences around diverse gender and sexuality.
Championing LGBTQIA+ cultures, conversations and events. Intersections between generations, people, ideas, stories and experiences – a focal point for connections and belonging. We create inclusive and safe social spaces. Providing platforms for shared experience in a world which often under-represents us. Valuing 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.
