Hi there. Welcome to the ButchFemmeTrans Melbourne website.
At present, we’re busy creating the full website. But in the interim, check out these great events we have coming up! (Note: All of our events are in wheelchair-accessible venues.)
Drinks At Six
Our events have been so successful that we’ve organised a regular monthly drinks event at the cocktail lounge Polly. So come along on the 2nd Thursday of every month. Forthcoming dates and details are as follows:

And then there’s the:

And then… there’s our event for the Midsumma Festival in January next year:
A Sunset Soiree
“Join ButchFemmeTrans Melbourne for an evening of jazz, cocktails, food and finery…”
ButchFemmeTrans Melbourne invites you to a Midsumma night’s cocktail party. Featuring live jazz by Yana Alana and Tha Parana Party (2007 Melbourne Fringe Festival Cabaret Award winners), gourmet fare, sumptuous cocktails – and you, in all your finery. Join us for an evening of sparkling drinks and even-more-sparkling conversation.
Following on from our fabulous dinners and other social events over the last 18 months, we have turned up the glamour and turned on the mood lighting for this special event. Dress glamorously, mingle freely, and revel in your gorgeousness.
We welcome anyone with a connection to butch/femme/trans identities. Over-dressing, dancing, flirtation and long chats over cocktails are absolutely encouraged.
