New offerings at fabALICE festival continue to celebrate diversity

One of the Northern Territory’s most inclusive events, the fabALICE Festival, returns to the Red Centre from 9th-12th March, highlighting cabaret, comedy, drag, open mic, fashion, music and more against the glittering natural landscape of Alice Springs.

The festival includes a host of activities for children, young people, adults and families. To kick off the festivities, and in the spirit of inclusivity, two sexual diversity forums will take place on Thursday, 9th March (11am for youth and 2pm for community), at Red Hot Arts, with everyone welcome to attend.

Other firsts include a satellite community event in Tennant Creek on 7th March, and Queens of the Sky, an exclusive, fun-filled holiday package. Hosted by Drag Territory, it includes a fun-filled return flight from Darwin to Alice Springs with Qantas, VIP Qantas lounge reception, accommodation and more.

This year’s Festival also includes new Partner Events, including Hans Sing-a-long Sound of Music on 9th March at 7.30pm, and the open mic session at fabFRIDAY Jam on 10th March.

The new fabALICE locals’ package features a three-event pass, which includes access to Drag Queen Bingo, the fabALICE Under the Stars Gala, and the After Dark Party at the Turf Club.

NT Minister for Major Events, Paul Kirby notes “fabALICE is one of the most inclusive events on the Territory calendar. Each year it brings together people from all corners of the community to celebrate diversity and everything that makes Alice Springs so unique.

“With so many new additions to the program this year and as fabALICE continues to grow in popularity, so will its reputation as a fun, inspiring celebration to experience and attend.”
