MELT: Festival of Queer Arts and Culture

Wednesday, 22 October 2025 until Sunday, 09 November 2025

Melt Open – a new open-access festival of Queer arts and culture across Brisbane/Meanjin.

Born out of the success of Brisbane Powerhouse’s Melt Festival, the new iteration of Melt takes pride in showcasing diverse arts and cultural events. With an expanded lineup of venues and artists, this destination city-wide festival aims to foster inclusivity, provoke thought and celebrate LGBTQIA+ communities and artists in a city gearing up to host the Olympic and Paralympic Games in 2032.
