LGBTQ+ community gets ready to party as OUT South West gears up for Pridefest

Bunbury is set to be painted in rainbow colours and glitter this weekend as Out South West gears up for another year of Pride celebrations. The Graham Bricknell Music Shell will become a wonderland for all things LGBTQ+ on Saturday, with various market stalls, activities and entertainment set to wow the crowd from 11am. Fresh from her stint on The Voice Australia and performing at the AFL grand final breakfast, Dunsborough’s Sofia Watt is set to take to the stage with her amazing vocals. Other entertainers set to put on fabulous performances include local band Dead Echo, Perth singer-songwriter Nat Ripepi, DJ Lexie and the performers from Sol Y Sombra, all hosted by local drag performers Fanta Sea and Barry Mundi. Following the day’s celebrations, Out South West will also host a Pridefest After Party at Water’s Edge Cafe and Restaurant with live entertainment and games throughout the night. Out South West president Cassandra Hymers said Saturday was set to be an exciting day for all. “There’s going to be a lot of amazing local entertainment and a lot of variety in performances,” she said. “There will also be a lot of fun activities, food vendors, market stalls and a lot of information stalls to provide a safe and fun environment for all.” The party will kick on to Sunday, November 28, with a roller party set to take place at The Rink.
