QWere St LGBTIQA+ winter street party
Vicki WARD (Eltham) (10:36:496:): Congratulations to Were Street traders and Banyule council on the success of the restored QWere Street festival. Were Street in Montmorency was transformed into a queer street – a vibrant celebration of diversity, inclusion and pride. Montmorency was a beautiful sea of rainbows and smiles as we came together in celebration of our beautiful rainbow community. This lively event with so many activities, including live music, drag queens and face painting, brought my community and people from across Melbourne together in a beautiful, inclusive way. I was pleased to be a part of the day, standing in solidarity with our beautiful rainbow community celebrating the joy of pride in self in a safe, inclusive, welcoming space. Thank you to the Rainbow Community Angels for also attending.
