Melbourne Queer Irish Soft Launch

Spring is in the air, and so is the craic — Melbourne Queer Irish is kicking off its journey with a warm, welcoming soft launch night at The 86 in Fitzroy. Whether you’re from the emerald isle or just love a good Irish tune, this is your invitation to connect, celebrate, and dance to your heart’s content.

Expect a relaxed, inclusive vibe filled with friendly faces and genuine laughter. The night will feature a special free raffle for tickets to @irishfilmfestau — because nothing brings people together like great stories and shared culture. Don’t forget to scan the QR code to follow Melbourne Queer Irish on Instagram and stay in the loop for future gatherings.

This is more than just an event — it’s the beginning of a community. We’re thrilled to be joined by SQIrish, who helped inspire this night — a huge thank you for your support and spirit.

No need to worry about what to wear — come as you are. Whether you’re in green, rainbow, or your comfiest jeans, you’re welcome here. Grab a drink, make a new friend, and let’s toast to queer Irish joy together.

And yes — there will be music. The kind that has you smiling before you even know the lyrics. This isn’t a packed club night; it’s your new favorite local hangout with heart.
