Acland Street Village

🌈 Midsumma Festival is back!! 16 Jan – 9 Feb 2025

Melbourne’s celebration of queer arts and culture returns this summer — with exhibitions, performances, parties and community events across the city, and plenty happening right here in St Kilda.

🎭 At Theatreworks St Kilda
Some standout queer productions in the program include:

AUSTRALIAN OPEN (21–31 Jan)
Serving scandal, smashing egos and dripping sweat — this is the Australian Open you’ve definitely never seen before.

CAMPFIRE UNLEASHED (29–31 Jan)
A fast-paced, 60-minute physical theatre and circus show set on a camping trip, with nods to horror, slapstick and classic comedy.

DISCO IS DEAD (3–7 Feb)
At the Theatreworks Explosives Factory (Inkerman Street).
A campy cannibal comedy: Freddy and the Four, the biggest disco boyband of the ’70s, release a new album — and unleash absolute hell along with it.

🎉 Pride March & Afterparties
After the Midsumma Pride March on Sunday 1 Feb, St Kilda lights up with afterparties across the precinct — including Poof Doof taking over the Gershwin Room at The Espy.

Ode to the 246 Bus… our unsung hero of St Kilda! 🚍✨

Everyone calls it the Magic Bus for a reason — locals have been saying for decades, if the 246 doesn’t go there, you probably shouldn’t either! 😉

From Elsternwick to Clifton Hill and back, it gets us to gigs in Fitzroy, footy in Richmond, appointments at the Alfred, cinema trips in Elsternwick… and most importantly, it helps older residents bring their shopping home when the rain or heat makes those extra blocks too much.

The 96 and 16 trams may get the glamour shots, but you, dear little bus, are the quiet working-class hero of Barkly Street.

Thank you for always being there… eventually.

This one’s for you ❌⭕❌
