Big Gay Day 2019
Brisbane's annual LGBT street festival returns for its 19th year.
Overview
It's not every day that an inner-city street shuts down for an onslaught of music and fun. No, just Big Gay Day. Now in its 19th year, the annual event returns to The Wickham and the surrounding roadway for an afternoon and evening of music and celebratory mayhem.
Topping the bill is a name that Brisbanites will be more than familiar with: The Veronicas. The local pop duo will be joined by Sheldon Riley, Emily Williams, Maribelle, The Marion Cranes, Being Jane Lane, a heap of DJs and the Big Gay Extravaganza — which'll feature more than 30 drag performers.
Consider them the icing on the cake on what has proven the city's most colourful and diverse street festival for the past 18 years, and will continue to do so again in 2019. Roving carnival acts, multiple performance spaces, food trucks, themed bars and plenty of partying people are also on the agenda, as is raising funds for six charity partners that help the LGBTQIA+ community.
