Our Impact
Testimonials
To see queer culture represented and celebrated at the children’s festival was a pretty powerful thing for my kids and I. Thank you children’s fest, you did good!
Youngsters attending the festival will be exposed to more culture than many adults get on a night out.
I love how this festival supports new faces and art, and makes space for them on the festival stages, to share their traditions, cultural practises and creative expression.
