AUNTY is making her Wild West debut, and she’s bringing you BLAK EXCELLENCE. 

Step into the ultimate celebration of self-expression, diversity, and unfiltered fabulousness as AUNTY takes over Portland Arts Centre for one glorious night.  She’ll be serving up a devastating showcase of Naarm’s best and baddest: cabaret and performance artists, DJs, pop-up performances, impromptu vogueing sessions, and uninhibited Black Queer Beauty from the stage to the dancefloor.  

Part party part show, AUNTY is a jubilant homage to Black Women, Queer Icons, Indigenous Royalty, and every breathtaking expression in between. The night will be hosted by a gang of larger-than-life Aunties who’ll be working their magic and making you feel right at home. 

AUNTY is brought to you by BEAT ENTERTAINMENT and RECKŌNING SOUNDS, local legends who specialise in spectacular celebrations of Queer, BIPOC & First Nations excellence. 

When Aunty says you’re going out – you’re going out. Dress to impress.

 

This event is presented as one of two launch events to celebrate the 2026 Program for the Portland Arts Centre. It's a free event, exclusively for our members and their guests. If you're not yet a member, you can join from just $15 a year.
