Summer Gay Day
Nov 29, 2008
This is a brand new gay and lesbian music festival in Sydney, with the first edition taking place in 2007. Held by Kippax Lake in Moore Park, there will be three different party areas with different kinds of music and entertainment in each spot.
Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
Feb 14 - Mar 7, 2009
Considered by many to be the number one gay event on the planet, Sydney’s pride party is not to be missed. Conde Nast even listed this festival as one of the 10 most spectacular costume events in the world, right up there with Venice and Rio. This is a month-long extravaganza, taking place through February and early March, culminating with the huge closing parade and party. There are almost a hundred events planned each year, from the Mardi Gras LGBT film festival to readings, club nights, cabarets and comedy shows… with many of these parties just for us girls! Check out their online calendar for more details, and while you’re there, just check out their website for all of its fabulous Sydney homo info.
Mardi Gras Film Festival
Feb 19 - Mar 4, 2009
Sydney’s LGBT film fest held every year as part of the overall Mardi Gras festivities. This is a 15-day extravaganza of queers on film, with a number of events just for the girls.
Sydney Leather Pride
Early June, 2009 (TBA)
Even though this will always be an event primarily for men, Sydney Leather Pride does a good job of lesbian inclusion for girls who enjoy the fetish lifestyle.
Aurora Annual Dinner
Late Jul, 2009 (TBA)
Aurora is a wonderful fundraising group that offers financing and bursaries to several Sydney LGBT associations each year. One of their major fundraising events is this annual dinner which is attended by more and more lesbians each year, thanks to a popular lesbian MC and lesbian entertainment.
queerDOC
Early Sep, 2009 (TBA)
One of the world’s rare LGBT documentary film festivals, brought to you by the same gang behind the Mardi Gras film fest.
Sydney Rubber Ball
Early Sep, 2009 (TBA)
Pansexual fetish ball based on the world famous London Rubber Ball. This is the highlight of Sydney’s fetish/BDSM communities, and they make a true effort to make lesbian participants feel comfortable.
World of Women (WOW) Film Festival
Early Oct, 2009 (TBA)
“A short film festival that promotes and awards the talents of women directors, producers, writers, editors and cinematographers in the Australian film industry and in Oceania.” Not necessarily lesbian, but obviously very woman positive.
