Coastal Twist Festival

Overview

Spring is the season of Fringe and LGBTQIA+ Festivals all over the world, but did you know the Central Coast has its own Fringe equivalent? We're talking, of course, about the Coastal Twist Festival, a multi-venue LGBTQIA+ celebration taking place from Tuesday, October 1 to Sunday, October 6.

The "sparkliest festival on the Central Coast" is all about celebrating the local queer community, with this year's theme of 'Rise and Shine' seeing cabaret, film, dance and music events taking place across Gosford, Woy Woy, Ettalong Beach and Umina. The highlight takes place on October 6, with events taking over the coast all at once to promote a happier, healthier and more welcoming Central Coast.
