Uniting Queenscliff – Sacrededge Festival 2024

Through the shared Food, Arts, Spiritual Practices, and Community engagement, Uniting Queenscliff strengthens connections with one another and across various cultures and backgrounds.

Uniting Queenscliff received a PFA Small Grant to give voice to LGBTIQA+ folk (and other marginalised groups) at the Sacrededge Festival in Queenscliff (Vic) – Friday May 3 to Sunday May 5, 2024.

Sacrededge creates an opportunity for people to listen to and learn about life experiences that are different from their own by engaging around 30+ performers, artists and presenters to share their stories, music and art across one weekend.

The most important outcome for the festival is a positive experience for the presenters/performers from LGBTIQA+, First Nations & Refugee communities. Their sense of being heard, valued and cared for is paramount and is the focus of the festival. This festival enables attendees to learn, reflect and connect, rather than just be entertained.
