Midsumma Presents - Midsumma Festival 2026

Midsumma Matters: Queer Joy

Queer Joy has a simple aim: gather the rainbow community and tell stories of delight, defiance and triumph - in our own way and on our terms. Your host Nelly Thomas will wrangle ten of our finest story-tellers, while resident cabaret tornado Tina del Twist will share a song or two. 
Expect a cast of our finest, all speaking to our theme: TIME AND PLACE. 
Cop a load of this suite of story-tellers: Narelda Jacobs (Ch10), Joel Creasey (Nova FM), Commissioner Ro Allen (HREOC), Bec Goddard (AFLW), T-Rex (Dykes on Bikes Melbourne - former president), Dr Ee Ling Quah (UWS), Renee Thompson (Tomboy), Polly Filla (Drag Diva) and, comedians Tina Del Twist, Kirsty Webeck, Jay Wymarra & Nelly Thomas. Incredible! 
BYO tissues (for happy crying), laughter and celebration. Queer Joy is waiting.
