While The Arts Centre Gold Coast have already shared their three key events for Glitter Festival 2015, less than a month remains until the entire event line-up is unveiled on August 3 2015. To generate some hype for the event, the venue have shared their 30 second promotional for the event, where glitter is thrown by the handful, there were smiles all around and sparklers were lit on multiple occasions. You can see the video in its entirety above. For more information on the event, check out its official website HERE or continue reading.
Glitter will serve as the Gold Coast’s inaugural Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer and A-Sexual festival (Although everyone supportive of these groups regardless of personal orientation is more than welcome to attend!). The event is set to be held from September 28 to October 5 2015 – with a range of events planned to suit different tastes in entertainment.
While the full schedule isn’t set to be unveiled for another couple of weeks, the following are three key events which have already been confirmed:
Tacos and Tiaras
29 September 2015 @ 6PM | Stingray Bar @ QT Gold Coast, Surfers Paradise
A play on QT’s infamous $3 Taco Tuesdays, this Glitter event features a personal space to mingle with like-minded people and gorgeous attendants to service guests’ dining and beverage needs. It’s guaranteed to be a delicious evening out! Entry is FREE and includes a welcome drink and complimentary tiara.
This is an 18+ event, with bookings able to be made HERE.
Glitter Race Day
3 October 2015 @ 11AM | The Dome, Gold Coast Turf Club
A spectacular spring day of fillies, fascinators and fabulous fun! Glitter Race Day is set to sizzle and will become a must-do event on the Gold Coast calendar. Guests will mingle with local and national celebrities, enjoy fashions on the field (best female dress, best male dress), live music and a whole lot of horse!
Set under the Turf Club’s gorgeous light filled Dome, guests will enjoy the best view of the track and mounting yard, whilst being entertained by interstate cabaret acts amongst great company.
Tickets for the Race Day are $75, and include a welcome drink on arrival and canapés all day long. This is another 18+ event. Tickets to this event are now on sale HERE.
Pride Run Gold Coast
4 October 2015 @ 7:30AM | Evandale Parklands, Bundall
Get ready for an explosion of colour, fun and fast moving feet at the Pride Run Gold Coast – an opportunity to celebrate the Gold Coast’s diversity with friends, families, colleagues and supporters. Choose from the 5km Rainbow Run or Walk, the 3km Paws with Pride, the 70m High Heel Dash (sure to be a crowd favourite!) and 700m Little Flyers event for kids to 12 years.
Organisers were excited to launch online registrations. Emma Porter of PM9 Events said, ‘We expect to have over 500 participants at the first Pride Run on the Gold Coast and it is certainly something all of the family can do.’ Emma said ‘…it’s a fun, fabulous, colourful and inclusive event that embraces the diversity amongst the LGBT and wider Gold Coast community – it’s open to all fitness levels, ages and distances so anyone really can be involved.’
