Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival has been running over 30 years, and is one of the highlights on the Australian LGBTIQ calendar. Art exhibitions, showcases, talks, cultural programs and even dog shows make up the near month-long event, which encompasses education, community awareness and tons of LGBTIQ pride. The Pride March, which traditionally concludes the Midsumma Festival, in St Kilda, celebrates its 25th anniversary this year.
Considering that Midsumma comprises 194 events across 98 venues, it’s no surprise to see it pulling crowds of up to 110,000 at Carnival Day alone.
