Festival Midsumma Melbourne
Sobre este evento
Midsumma es el festival de arte y cultura queer de Melbourne, que se celebra desde 1988 durante tres semanas del verano austral en teatros, galerías, clubes y espacios al aire libre. Se parece más a un festival de arte con una Marcha del Orgullo adjunta que a un fin de semana de desfile único. Su informe anual 2024-25 registró 213 eventos durante 22 días y 285.958 asistentes; esto cuenta entradas y accesos, no personas únicas.
Tres grandes días enmarcan el programa. El Midsumma Carnival inaugura el festival un domingo con un día gratuito al aire libre de puestos, escenarios y picnics. La Marcha del Orgullo, el desfile organizado por la comunidad, tiene lugar dos semanas después a lo largo de Fitzroy Street en St Kilda; en 2026 Midsumma registró más de 7.000 participantes. Victoria's Pride, una fiesta callejera el último domingo, cierra el festival. Entre medias se encuentran unos 200 espectáculos, charlas, noches de club y exposiciones, una mezcla de eventos gratuitos y de pago, publicados en un programa que sale a finales de noviembre. La inscripción para los grupos que deseen marchar se abre en septiembre.
Reserva tus entradas para los espectáculos tan pronto como salga el programa, porque el cabaret y el teatro en recintos pequeños se agotan. Melbourne en enero puede pasar de días templados a olas de calor en una semana, así que empaca para ambos. El Australian Open suele ocupar la segunda mitad de enero, lo que eleva los precios de los hoteles en el CBD y Southbank; St Kilda y el norte interior son buenas bases para la Marcha y la fiesta de clausura.
El último festival se celebró del 18 de enero al 8 de febrero de 2026, con la Marcha del Orgullo el 1 de febrero. Las fechas de 2027 se han anunciado oficialmente: del 17 de enero al 7 de febrero de 2027, con el Carnival el 17 de enero, la Marcha del Orgullo el 31 de enero y Victoria's Pride el 7 de febrero. Midsumma dice que el programa completo se publicará el 24 de noviembre de 2026, y ese es el momento de empezar a reservar.
