Kick off festival weekend with Queen & Queer, a Montreal based collective.
🌈WHO ARE WE?
🪩QUEEN & QUEER isn’t just some group from Montréal… we’re a queer travelling collective creating events in different cities to connect, uplift, and celebrate queerness wherever it lives. Ottawa has become a true second home for us.
🪩QUEEN & QUEER isn’t a big production, we’re just two passionate people, Sam & Maryline, working with zero public funding, creating safe, festive, and inclusive spaces for the lesboqueer community everywhere we’re welcomed. (And fun fact: one of us actually spends half their time in Ottawa, so yes, we really do feel at home here 💜)
🌈OUR MISSION
Beyond creating festive and safe spaces for the Lesbo-Queer community and their allies, our mission is to highlight the talent of female artists, whether they’re DJs, dancers, or from the circus arts community.
🌈MUSIC IS THE ANSWER
QUEEN & QUEER parties are safe spaces prioritizing LGBTQ2SIA+ women, non-binary people, and trans folks. Allies are welcome too! We have a zero-tolerance policy for any form of discrimination: homophobia, sexism, transphobia, racism, or harassment have no place at our events. Our events are recognized for celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion. Whether you’re 20 or 60 years old, and no matter your cultural background, you’ll find your place with us.
