June is Pride Month and Gosford’s most successful ongoing community pop-up, ThursGAY, will be celebrating on Thursday, June 8 with a new permanent home at the yet-to-be-opened Fun Haus Factory in the heart of Gosford.
ThursGAY will be a soft launch for a new community creative and social hub, which will officially open in July – one of many arts programs and targeted activations to revitalise Gosford and support a growing night-time economy, increase spaces and access for creatives and build contemporary culture which is vibrant and engaging.
“ThursGay is the free monthly LGBTQIA+ and friends local social night which has over the past 18 months brought weeknight crowds to Gosford,” creative director Glitta Supernova said.
“(We have) collaborated with half a dozen Gosford venues for a revolving door of paid artists, performers and DJs and been the training ground for artists working around venues on the Central Coast and beyond.
“Everyone aged 18 and over are welcome on Thursday, June 8 as we come full circle with ThursGAY finding its own home.
“The very special soft launch will allow the community to test drive the space with dinner options from local businesses and an extraordinary line up of performers including DJ Queerio serving up 100 per cent gay music from 6.30pm to 10.30pm.
“This will be an evening to enjoy epic drag, burlesque and art performances.”
The Pride Month celebration will feature an incredible array of professional, emerging artists including local legends Belle, MIDAS, Diva D-Lish, and MC Fox Pflueger.
The night will also be a sneak peek into Coastal Twist 2023 branding.
The event will be held at the Fun Haus Factory, 124 Donnison St, Gosford.
