Why

Join us for Congee Club's Queer Lunar New Year Celebration as we ring in the Year of the Horse! Come along to celebrate the start of the Lunar New Year together, and hang out with friends old and new.

What to expect: music & performances, stall holders, mahjong, craft activities, food, drinks and spaces to hang out.

See you then!! xx

We acknowledge that this event is held on stolen Wurundjeri land, this always was and always will be Aboriginal land.

Tickets are available from Humanitix.

Who are we for?

  • Just like how almost every Asian culture has a ‘rice porridge/gruel’ dish (commonly known as congee in English), the name of this group encompasses all Asian cultures. Whether your background is East, South or South-East Asian and you're LGBTQIA+ you are welcome here!
  • We are a safe and inclusive space for all LGBTQIA+ people. If you identify as even a little bit Queer or questioning, this space is for you!
  • Though we are primarily organising events aimed at young people (18+), there is no upper age limit (so bring your parents, we love aunties and uncles!).

Friends and allies welcome, but be aware of the space that you're taking!

Accessibility

  • Balam Balam Place is fully wheelchair accessible, with accessible toilets.
  • The event will be held in a semi-indoor / outdoor, well-ventilated space.
  • Masks and hand sanitiser always available. Masks encouraged but not mandatory at this event.

Tickets

Tickets are available from Humanitix.
