What’s On: Midsumma Carnival 2022
After going missing in 2021 due to COVID restrictions, Melbourne’s annual queer-day-out, Midsumma Carnival, returns to kick off the three-week-long Midsumma Festival celebrations. The iconic queer outdoor celebration attracts crowds upwards of 120,000. This year, enjoy performances, browse the stalls, picnic with friends, savour delicacies at the food trucks, see the iconic Dog Show and close the day’s festivities with a warm summer evening of T Dance.

LGBTQIA+ media is under threat. Queer content is censored by tech conglomerates who amplify bigotry and push out AI slop — so we receive less financial support than ever.
When our community is muzzled and intolerance intensifies, we need queer media more than ever. Your donation means we can continue paying queer journalists to write queer news.
Don’t rely on the straight lies of big tech – support Star Observer instead and donate now.
