Melbourne's queer arts and culture festival: three weeks of events, the Carnival in the gardens and the Pride March in St Kilda.
Midsumma is Melbourne's summer-long queer festival, opening with Carnival in the Alexandra Gardens in mid-January and running for three weeks of theatre, art and parties, with the Pride March down Fitzroy Street in St Kilda as its centrepiece. The city's club nights run their biggest editions through the same weeks.
