- Alice Springs has long been a diverse town, a little rainbow bubble in the centre of Australia and the FABAlice Festival is the perfect way to enjoy the local hospitality at its finest.
- The city is a mirage in the heart of Australia’s Red Centre and is the perfect stopping off point for one of the world’s great wonders, Ayers Rock/Uluru.
History of the Festival
- FABalice Festival started in 2018 and was inspired by the cult classic movie The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
- It sits prettily on the gay social calendar just after the Mardi Gras festivities in Sydney, a picturesque desert escape in which to recover from the excesses of the previous weeks, or you know, just add to the damage.
