Tell us your favourite festival
Here at the Star we are interested to find out which of Australia’s gay and lesbian festivals is your favourite.
There are so many great festivals – both small and large popping up – and we want to know your thoughts.
Is it Mardi Gras or Midsumma? Perhaps you love ChillOut more? Maybe you head to Big Gay Day in Brisbane every year or hang at Tropical Fruits?
So we’ve started a poll on our website (bottom left) so you can tell us.
We’ve given you a selection of the biggest and best-known to choose from.
But, if you think we’ve missed a great festival, we’d love to hear more about it. Email your thoughts to editor@starobserver.com.au.
We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

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.

Either Bear Essentials, Southern Hibearnation, Northern Exposure, or Spring Migration!
Go Bears! :-)
Dave, I agree with you that Spring Migration is one of the best festivals in Australia.
I think Spring Migration is the best!
