The Midsumma Festival is here!
Port Phillip is bursting with pride with the return of the much-anticipated annual Midsumma Festival, taking place from 21 January to 11 February.
Our neighbourhoods are home to some of the biggest and best Midsumma events. From theatre, cabaret and visual arts to parties, community events and, of course, the iconic Midsumma Pride March.
The annual Pride March will turn St Kilda’s Fitzroy Street into a sea of colour and solidarity for gender and sexual diversity on Sunday 4 February.
City of Port Phillip Council is a longstanding supporter of the Festival, and Midsumma, as Australia’s premier LGBTIQA+ arts and cultural organisation.
Our City is proud to play host to 22 days of pride summer celebrations with a jam-packed schedule of local Midsumma events and participating venues listed on our What’s On St Kilda and Surrounds website.
We will raise the inclusive progress pride flag high over St Kilda Town Hall at our annual flag-raising ceremony to demonstrate our commitment for Port Phillip to be an inclusive City for all members of the community.
The ceremony is at 4 pm on Tuesday 30 January on the front lawn of St Kilda Town Hall. Everyone is welcome to attend, and for those who can’t, a livestream can be viewed on our Facebook page.
