A fresh LGBTQIA+ non-profit based in Townsville, North Queensland. We have an unholy calling; we want to see our q***r-ass community thrive again. We will be bringing some of the biggest names in q***r music & drag to North Queensland to perform alongside our local talent. We will give our community a stage and we want you there to party with us. This is a party designed by the NQ Q***r Community
for the NQ Q***r Community and their Ally friends. As an ethical promoter you can rest easy knowing that your ticket fees are ensuring our artists are all paid fairly. You will experience some of the biggest names from Australia’s q***r festivals and events alongside our best and brightest local talent. Inside there will be a dance floor so you can dance like no one is watching, places to perch, a bar to procure your liquid courage and a hydration station because it’s cool to drink responsibly. Outside expect food trucks, chill space, and smoking area. This is a safer space where you get to celebrate q***rness, in any flavour, alongside your q***r fam and new mates. HOUSE RULES
Be inclusive, loving, and kind. Connect with people authentically. Bring the vibe. Escape the outside world. Find euphoria. A party is only as good as the people. Be respectful. No homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, or body-shaming behaviours or attitudes. Allies are welcome here! Consent is key. Don’t touch anyone without their consent, including our performers. Don’t assume pronouns! Asking someone’s pronouns is sexy! Someone making you feel uncomfortable at our event? See a team member, bar staff or security. Look after your friends, stay hydrated and party safe. Love, Q***r Candy. We respectfully acknowledge that we are meeting on stolen lands. We acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we hold this event, the Wulgurukaba people of Gurambilbarra and Yunbenun, and pay respects to Elders past, present, and emerging. We recognise that Sovereignty was never ceded. Always was, always will be.
