Northside Bizarre 2017 from 12PM on Saturday 21 October!
The much-loved Northside Bizarre has been called ‘a mini-Folsom Street party fundraiser’ for two of Melbourne’s biggest LGBTI community organisations – JOY 94.9 and VAC‘s David Williams Fund.
Hosted by The Laird, the event has expanded over the years to take over the neighbouring Collingwood Masonic Hall and the section of Henry Street that runs between the two iconic venues.
This all-day event saw over 1300+ attendees come through in 2016 and it keeps getting bigger and bigger. The event offers an opportunity outside of the typically summer festival season for the LGBTI community to come together while also supporting two of the largest organisations serving the local gender, sex, and sexually diverse community – JOY 94.9 and VAC.
Want to get involved? We need your help!
The success of Northside Bizarre relies on the kind support and generous donations from individuals and businesses.
Got some preloved leather in the back of your closet? Donate it to Leather & Treasure where it can be sold to have a second life.
