Midsumma’s first official ball arrives—Naarm is burning, Ballroom commands!

From Harlem to Naarm, Oceania’s houses light up the floor, battling across electrifying categories for the Grand Prize on this historic night of Ballroom culture.

The Fantasy Ball at State Library Victoria brings Ballroom and voguing culture into the grand surrounds of Queen’s Hall, hosted by Founding Mother Angel Furia and the House of Furia.

Featuring multiple categories, judges, DJs and performances – this night celebrates the artistry and community of Melbourne’s Ballroom scene: a space that champions expression, resilience and self-love.

Come dressed to impress, cheer on your favourites and witness the Library transform into a runway of joy, rhythm, and QTBIPOC excellence.

To make it in this world; you must live your fantasy!
