Anna Whitelaw: Gaytimes Festival

If you have ever been to Gaytimes, you know it is more than just a festival. It is a community, a celebration and a truly unique experience that brings together music, arts and camping in a safe and inclusive queer space.

But there is some bittersweet news. Gaytimes has announced that after the 2025 festival, the event will take a break in 2026. The pressures on independent festivals, particularly those led by queer individuals, have become overwhelming.

Guest: Anna Whitelaw, Gaytimes Founder and Director
