Park Lounge is returning with pride and glory to Kelly Park in Werribee on Saturday, February 1 as part of Melbourne’s Midsumma Festival.
An evening celebrating queer culture and expression, Park Lounge will showcase a new line-up of LGBTQIA+ artists and allies who promise to dazzle with dance, music and performance between 6-10pm.
A fantastic stage arrangement will be front and centre, with host Aysha Buffet introducing audiences to performances by Saint Ergo, Barr Bee Doll, Squid Nebula, DJ Gaff E and the Arcoiris Queer Latin Group.
Country and disco will also feature as alt country crooner Leroy Macqueen, Sunshine and Disco Faith Choir and Disco Rodeo Boot Scooting will be strutting their stuff.
Now in its 13th year, the event is by no means confined to colourful performances, providing a little of something for everybody.
A range of craft stalls will allow attendees to transform their old clothes into interesting pieces of wearable art and jewellery.
Leading the charge will be the Ballarat Trans & Gender Diverse Swap Shop with many new outfits to be swapped or donated, in a bid to help people fit in.
Guests are encouraged to have a picnic, get something from one of the on-site food trucks or sample many of the diverse flavours found in the restaurants of Werribee.
While some seating will be provided, guests are welcome to bring their own chairs.
