Queer culture to be celebrated at Park Lounge.

Wyndham’s free Park Lounge event is set to return to Kelly Park this summer on

Saturday February 3 as part of Melbourne’s annual Midsumma Festival.

Celebrating queer culture and expression, Park Lounge will feature a new

line-up of LGBTQIA+ performances, dance, drag, live music and theatre hosted by

Indigenous queer performer, 2JOOCEE.

Wyndham councillor Marcel Mahfoud encouraged residents to enjoy this much-loved, Midsumma tradition.

“Park Lounge is a joyful and inclusive event – where dancing is encouraged and

everyone is welcome,” Cr Mahfoud said.

“This year’s event will feature a fantastic stage program, including trail-blazing soul

sisters, The Merindas, the fierce and fabulous Cerulean, the Bollywood stylings of

Sapphire Dance and a re-imagining of ballroom dance by The House of Diesel.

Crowd favourites The Huxley’s will return, featuring Simone Page Jones and Play

Date (Turtle and Sugar) by All The Queens Men is a dance party for children and

families.”

Patrons are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket and grab some dinner from the onsite food trucks or enjoy an early dinner at a local restaurant in Werribee before the

event.
