Meeniyan Marty Gras 2026
About
Welcome to Rainbow Country!Leave your inhibitions at the town limits and step into Rainbow Country – where glitter is practically a dress code, country hospitality comes with a side of sequins, and everyone is welcome.
Meeniyan Marty Gras is South Gippsland's most colourful nights of the year, bringing together an incredible community for one unforgettable evening of drag, dancing, laughter, outrageous costumes and fundraising for two special causes.
This year, we're turning up the colour with our very first event theme: Rainbow Country. Think rainbow cowboys, disco farmers, sparkling gumtrees, country queens, fabulous flannel, glitter boots... or simply come dressed as your brightest, boldest self.
Your ticket includes an evening of spectacular entertainment featuring Melbourne drag stars, DJ Golden Fleece, raffles, auctions, prizes for the best-dressed, supper, and plenty of moments you'll be talking about long after the glitter has washed off.
Whether you're a Marty Gras regular or joining us for the first time, one thing is guaranteed—you'll laugh, you'll dance, you'll make new friends, and you'll be helping raise vital funds for Opportunities of Development thru Art (ODA) in Cambodia and Gippsland Pride Initiative Inc.
Doors open 6.30pm. Please no stilettos (to protect timber floor). Table seating is limited. BYO drinks, glasses and nibbles. Please bring cash for the raffle, card payments available for auction prizes. Proudly supported by Lyrebird Arts Council.
