Midsumma History: Introduction |
|
 |
|
Since 1988, the Midsumma Festival has been Victoria's premier gay and
lesbian arts and cultural festival, presenting an annual community
celebration and encouraging the development of innovative artistic
content and a unique cultural experience.
We believe that maintaining a history of Midsumma is just one of the
ways that we can recognise
the efforts of those people and organisations which have been, and
continue to be, an integral part of Midsumma's history.

The online History Book has been compiled from contributions
solicited
from past and present Board members and volunteers of Midsumma
throughout its
history. Midsumma has made no attempt to verify the accuracy of the
information provided by the contributors - each account is an
independent story. Any views or opinions expressed are those of the
authors and are not endorsed by Midsumma. Because of Midsumma's rich
history, it is inevitable that, at different times and in different
places, people have different recollections of events. There is no one
official history of Midsumma - each and every story is, in part, our
history. If you disagree with any account of events in
the History Book, we invite you to submit your own.
