The very lovely and talented Akasha Temple interviewed Benjamin and Fleur, two of our management committee, recently as part of their Country Lounge chat series. They discuss how Frolic Festival came to be and how we’re different from many other festivals. We’re really proud of Frolic and hope to see you in 2020.
Check out the video here:
We’ve seen so much support from the broader community this year. We were really happy to talk with WIN News about the festival and why it means so much to the LGBTIQA+ community.
You can see their news piece below. Though for the record, we said we hoped we’d have 2000 people attend throughout the festival – we didn’t have 2000 on Carnival Day! Maybe next year??
Maureen is one of our most experienced performers, and it shows! Her stage presence is amazing. Maureen was in the original production of Hair: The Musical, and remembers a very different time for our community.
You can read more about that in this Courier article here.
Be prepared to be entertained in the second last event of the festival! Tickets still available. Head over to our program page and grab them now.
Philmah and the girls are going to turn Sunday night from drab to fab!

Our fantastic coverage of this year’s Frolic Festival in The Courier continues with this article about two of our volunteers Max and Graham.
Our volunteers are the backbone of the festival. Without their assistance, we wouldn’t be able to host twice the number of events as we did last year.
Every volunteer has their own story and their own reasons for stepping up to assist but behind them all, it’s about finding and building our community. Read Max and Graham’s story here…
