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.

The 2025 Midsumma Festival has now closed, but you can check out what WAS on 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.

At Midsumma, we recognise our responsibility to provide genuine access to our events and services wherever possible, so we have several ways for everyone to access information about our events.

In 2026, Midsumma Festival will run from Sun 18 Jan to Sun 8 Feb. The Major events are all on Sundays: 18 Jan: Midsumma Carnival — 1 Feb: Midsumma Pride March — 8 Feb: Victoria's Pride Street Party
