It’s that time of year again! 🎄🌈

WHERE: St Kilda Town Hall – Corner of Carlisle Street and Brighton Road, St Kilda
HOSTED BY: Cherry Charleston
AND Featuring the CBQ Singers!

Days are getting longer, and warmer. Decorations are going up in stores. Mince tarts are in the shops, and the smell of cinnamon and nutmeg teases your nostrils. It’s the sense of Christmas, which means that it’s time for Carols by Queerlight!

Join the Melbourne Rainbow Band along with our special guest vocalist Guillaume Gentil and seasonal choir – the CbQ Singers – as we kick off the silly season in style.

Gather your family and friends and get ready for a joyful sing along! There is nowhere like Carols by Queerlight, where being home with the LGBTIQA+ for Christmas puts the sparkle and glitter back into the festive season and brings together the Diverse Gender and Sexuality (DGS) communities.

We are encouraging families of all ages to attend, with an early start time of 7pm and a visit from a certain jolly Man in Red likely to occur in the first part of the program. Then, after the interval, we’ll see how the grown-ups celebrate once the kids go to bed!

Tickets for individual seats or whole tables, with special prices for concession and children 12 & under, as well as discounts for booking a whole table. It’s possible for everyone to be part of the festivities!

Come and celebrate with your Melbourne Rainbow Band as we welcome our new Artistic Director, Brian KM!

MRB : Pride is the start of a new musical journey that puts your band and its members front and center. Come along to see what it’s all about. You can look forward to an experience that’s going to be uplifting, energetic and heaps of fun!

Experience the new MRB at the Victorian Pride Centre, 14th September at 7:30pm.

When: 14th of September, 7:30pm

Where: Victorian Pride Centre, 79/81 Fitzroy Street, St Kilda.

Tickets: $25 full, $20 concession via TryBooking
