review

As the afternoon turned into the evening, the place was getting seriously busy with everyone straining to catch a glimpse of the main stage. Acts like superstar tribute band Bjorn Again and 30 or so drag queens took to the stage for the fantastic Mega Drag with Sydney DJ Shigeki, hidden away in a DJ booth at the side of the main street, providing a great set between acts... Martha Wash, responsible for huge gay anthem "It's Raining Men" brought the house down! There was lots, lots more of course - feel free to tell us about your own favourite bits with the 'loved it' feature below!

Rain didn't stop play - but did send people scurrying for some of the indoor dancefloors which were decidedly sweaty for most of the afternoon! The Wick balcony provided some great views of the streets below, and - of course - provided the opportunity to meet some lovely people along the way... a few of whom are featured amongst these photos of the event!
