What:

As a free National Youth Week festival, Queeriosity is a celebration of the diversity of LGBTQI young people, under 25. This drug and alcohol free event will display some of the best queer & alternative talent Brisbane and beyond has to offer, with a smorgasbord of artistic and musically gifted peeps parading their skills.

Queeriosity will present a broad array of performances and entertainment from across the artistic spectrum, including:

Live bands
DJs
Dance troupes
Drag shows
Cabaret

Roving street theatre
Interactive arts workshops/demonstrations
+ much, much more!

In addition to this, a marketplace of community stalls and information booths will be on display, enabling local queer/queer-friendly businesses, organisations and services the opportunity to makes themselves known to all attendees.

And, if your taste buds require further tantalising… a free meat/vegetarian BBQ feast will also be on offer to all, with soft-drink beverages available throughout the day.

Cost: FREE!

 

As a safe space, Queeriosity is a drug, alcohol & discrimination-free zone.
