Carnival
Traditionally held in Alexandra Gardens with stalls, food, and main stage of showcase entertainment taking place through the commitment of Midsumma’s principal partner, the City of Melbourne, the event relocated to Birrarung Marr in 2011. The main stage since 2009 at least, has included a selection of entertainment from the coming festival program in order to showcase and promote the coming events to community and interested visited. Some recent community and arts and entertainment identities to have performed include: Luke Gallagher and Dolly Diamond, Anthony Manchetti, Hannah Gadsby and Adam Richard, as well as popular Drag Production Show "The Classics".
Duclie’s Dog Show has long been a Midsumma Carnival institution, providing an hilarious high camp, fun and frivolous few hours where community members show their dogs, with categories including “cutest bitch” and “best owner and dog combo”.
