Northside Bizarre

Oct
After a six-year hiatus, Northside Bizarre returns in full force! This iconic kink and fetish street party is making a long-awaited comeback at The Laird Hotel and surrounds in Abbotsford, bringing together queer communities for a day of playful debauchery, community celebration, and crucial fundraising for Thorne Harbour Health.
FREE ENTRY! SATURDAY 11 OCTOBER.
What to Expect
Northside Bizarre has something for everyone:
- VicBears BearBQ – sizzling sausages with sizzling bears
- Masterbaker – the most deliciously cheeky bake-off in Melbourne
- Dykes on Bikes – on cloakroom and ID check duties (with added attitude)
- Rubber pups, dunk tanks, auctions, demonstrations and performances, and more
Whether you’re a seasoned kinkster or simply curious, it’s the perfect way to dip your toes (or boots) into something new – all while supporting a great cause.
Why It Matters
Northside Bizarre raises vital funds for Thorne Harbour Health’s services, including the David Williams Fund for people living with HIV. Over the years, the event has raised tens of thousands of dollars, thanks to community support and our long-standing partnership with The Laird.
“It’s a fundraiser, first and foremost – but also a day that brings so many of our tribes together. There’s simply nothing else like it,” – Cal Hawk, Thorne Harbour Health
