The Bizarre Festival returns to Paris: eleven days of LGBTQ+ festivities, art and celebration, including clubbing, cabaret, exhibitions and sharing, at La Folie, Chez Olympe and Mia Mao
Paris is buzzing to the beat of the Bizarre Festival, a must-attend event for queer cultures. For eleven days, A La Folie, Chez Olympe in Pantin, and the techno venue Mia Mao become the epicenters of a rich and varied program: electrifying LGBTQ+ club nights, concerts by independent artists, edgy and irreverent cabarets, a friendly brunch for same-sex parent families, a thought-provoking exhibition, and engaging debates. More than just a festival, Bizarre aims to be a space for connection and joyful resistance in the face of setbacks to LGBTQ+ rights. Blending celebration, art, and reflection, it celebrates all identities and stands in solidarity with diversity.
