Festival season for our LGBTIQ communities is officially underway,  and while there are plenty of parties and celebration, there’s also a vibrant explosion of queer culture sweeping the nation.

The chairs of the two big festivals in Sydney and Melbourne have a great relationship and met up to discuss building stronger pathways for celebrating our LGBTIQ culture.

Dean Arcuri spoke to the chairs of Midsumma and Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, about what they could achieve coming together, and could this help other festivals around the nation.
