Midsumma Carnival has something for everybody, and is designed with the varied needs of our diverse community in mind.

You can view the Midsumma Festival 2025 program in many different ways, and when a list of events is being displayed, you can use the filters to refine the list by event CATEGORIES, ACCESSIBILITY, DATES, VENUE/REGION or special interest THEMES AND DISCOUNTS.

Midsumma Festival was founded on the lands and waters of the Bunurong, Taungurung, Dja Dja Wurrung, Wadawurrung and Wurundjeri (Woiwurrung) peoples of the Kulin Nation. Midsumma acknowledges that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders are the First Peoples of these lands, and pays respect to First Nation Elders, past and present.

Midsumma Presents is our curated program, where Midsumma collaborates with outstanding artists and cultural institutions from Victoria and around the world. Experience fresh collaborations between Midsumma Festival and some of Victoria’s outstanding cultural institutions. It's intersectional, it's vibrant and it brings people together.

Queer Imaginings invites audiences to immerse themselves in the diverse and nuanced experiences of LGBTQIA+ creatives, offering a unique lens on queerness as a shared and collective journey. This program embodies Midsumma Festival 2025’s theme of COLLECTIVE IDENTITY(S) by celebrating the strength of unity found within our differences.
