Festival Midsumma Melbourne
À propos de cet événement
Midsumma est le festival des arts et de la culture queer de Melbourne, qui se déroule depuis 1988 pendant trois semaines de l'été austral dans des théâtres, des galeries, des clubs et des sites en plein air. Il s'apparente davantage à un festival artistique avec une Marche de la Fierté qu'à un simple week-end de défilé. Son rapport annuel 2024-25 a comptabilisé 213 événements sur 22 jours et 285 958 participations ; cela compte les billets et les entrées, pas les personnes uniques.
Trois grandes journées encadrent le programme. Le Midsumma Carnival ouvre le festival un dimanche avec une journée gratuite en plein air de stands, de scènes et de pique-niques. La Marche de la Fierté, le défilé organisé par la communauté, a lieu deux semaines plus tard le long de Fitzroy Street à St Kilda ; en 2026, Midsumma a enregistré plus de 7 000 participants. Victoria's Pride, une fête de rue le dimanche final, clôture le festival. Entre-temps, environ 200 spectacles, conférences, soirées club et expositions sont proposés, un mélange d'événements gratuits et payants, publiés dans un programme diffusé fin novembre. L'inscription des groupes pour le défilé ouvre en septembre.
Réservez vos spectacles dès que le programme est disponible, car les spectacles de cabaret et de théâtre dans les petites salles affichent complet. Melbourne en janvier peut passer de journées douces à des canicules en l'espace d'une semaine, alors prévoyez en conséquence. L'Australian Open occupe généralement la seconde moitié de janvier, ce qui fait grimper les prix des hôtels dans le CBD et Southbank ; St Kilda et le nord intérieur sont de bonnes bases pour la Marche et la fête de clôture.
Le dernier festival s'est déroulé du 18 janvier au 8 février 2026, avec la Marche de la Fierté le 1er février. Les dates de 2027 sont officiellement annoncées : du 17 janvier au 7 février 2027, avec le Carnival le 17 janvier, la Marche de la Fierté le 31 janvier et Victoria's Pride le 7 février. Midsumma indique que le programme complet sera publié le 24 novembre 2026, et c'est le moment idéal pour commencer à réserver.
