Mornington Peninsula QUEERMAS

It’s the silly season — and for many of us, that means navigating tricky family gatherings, forced cheer, and awkward questions. So let’s skip that and throw a party for the family we choose. Welcome to QUEERMAS: a glitter-drenched, heart-pounding, joy-filled celebration of queer community, live music, drag magic, and radical togetherness.

Produced by the team behind the groundbreaking Mornington Peninsula PRIDE Party, this night is more than just a Christmas alternative — it’s a defiant reclaiming of space. A safe, inclusive, and gloriously unapologetic haven where drag and burlesque stars command the stage, backed by a live rock band that’ll have you dancing like nobody’s watching (because nobody should be).

For queer folks on the Peninsula, space has historically been scarce — you learned to shrink in public, to scan rooms for safety, to wait until you could escape to a place where you could breathe. QUEERMAS changes that. It says: you belong here. You’re seen. You’re celebrated. And you don’t have to edit yourself for anyone’s comfort.

This is your invitation to dance under a disco ball with the rainbow family you’ve made. Whether you’re queer, questioning, an ally, a performer, a glitter gremlin, or someone just looking for a joy-fueled escape from the holiday grind — QUEERMAS is for you.

If Christmas feels too much — this is your antidote. Come celebrate queer joy, queer love, and queer resilience with us.
