Many, if not all of Rome's gay venues move outdoors in the summer months to a large open air festival named Gay Village. In recent years Gay Village has been in the fashionable district of EUR, but it's subject to change almost every year, and the venue is typically announced closer to the summer. It's fun. To be outdoors in the summer is always a treat, and that all the gay clubs have a presence here is an added bonus. There is a cover charge of 15-20 Euros and different stages, bars, and dance areas. I think there are even concession stands, games, trinket shops and so on. Toward the end of August is the best time to go. It's packed and the music can be very good. There is basically no better place, other than the outdoor convenience of Coming Out bar, to spend your summer nights in Rome partying with largely gay, but somewhat mixed and friendly crowd.

New gay and lesbian friendly festival at Westerpark. Presented by Erwin Olaf (Black Pool Party), Diva MayDay (Can You Feel iT), Paradiso, Air (SuperToys) and Now&Wow. For boys who love girls who love girls who love boys who love boys…. ***************************************************AIR & PARADISO PRESENT MILKSHAKE FESTIVALFor boys who love girls who love girls who love boys who love boys….AIR & Paradiso gaan een unieke samenwerking met elkaar aan door een gloednieuw, liberaal festival te organiseren. Op zondag 22 juli 2012 vindt voor het eerst het Milkshake festival plaats in het Westerpark in Amsterdam.Wat gebeurt er als de unieke Free Love & Tolerance Policy van twee van de grootste clubs van Amsterdam in een blender gaat, samen met een dosis liberalisme, kunst, cultuur, entertainment en creativiteit? Milkshake festival is ontwikkeld vanuit de gedachtegang ‘Niets moet, alles mag’ en laat zien dat entertainment, muziekkeuze, kledingkeuze en status niets met seksualiteit te maken heeft. Tijdens Milkshake heerst er een Free Love & Tolerance Policy, vrij van de door de maatschappij gecreëerde hokjesgeest. Het leven is juist een feest dankzij de grote diversiteit van huidskleuren, religies, seksuele voorkeuren en mannelijke en vrouwelijke verschijningsvormen. Milkshake wil dit vieren: we vieren de stad, de initiatieven en het is een aanzet om de hoffelijkheid en vriendelijke omgangsvormen terug te brengen in de samenleving. Dik, dun, klein, groot, homo, hetero, trans, travo, pikzwart of lelieblank: mensen zijn het zout van de aarde en dit gaan we vieren! Milkshake festival, een concept bedacht door Peter van Vught (Paradiso) en Marieke Samallo (AIR). Zij vonden het tijd voor spektakel, entertainment en een interessante samensmelting van een selectie van de liberale clubnachten die een link hebben met Paradiso en AIR.Programma Vijf stages met elk een eigen karakter vormen het platform voor dit festival. Eén ding hebben de verschillende podia met elkaar gemeen: een gevoel van hoffelijkheid, vrijheid en tolerantie. Verwacht sprankelende decors, performance-art en vooral heel veel vertier.Black Pool Party by Erwin OlafTopfotograaf Erwin Olaf, die tevens verantwoordelijk is voor het beeld van Milkshake, organiseert in samenwerking met Conny Janssen Productions zijn eigen Black Pool Party op Milkshake. Erwin Olaf is berucht vanwege zijn legendarische ‘Fucques les Balles’-feesten en zijn ‘Black Tea Party’ in Paradiso. Zijn feesten staan bekend om hun uitbundigheid en vrijheid. Absurditeit en individuele verschijningsvormen voeren de boventoon tijdens zijn Black Pool Party op Milkshake.Can You Feel iT by AIR & Diva MaydayMet haar eigen stage brengt Diva Mayday het gevoel van Can You Feel iT, een concept wat is voortgekomen uit de liefde voor de legendarische club iT, terug op Milkshake. Met ieder kwartaal een uitverkochte editie in AIR, is Can You Feel iT vorig jaar uitgroepen als ‘Beste feest van het jaar’ door Gay.nl. Resident dj’s als Jean en Brian S., vocals door Miss Bunty en de perfecte hosting van Diva Mayday, is een party geboren waar sterren zich weer ‘gewoon voelen’ en waar de ‘gewone’ mensen zich ster voelen.LOLITA KLUP by NOW&WOWOnder de paraplu van Now&Wow werd ooit een onbevangen meisje (of was het toch een jongetje?) geboren. Free-minded, trisexual en stout. Haar naam was Lolita. Op Milkshake daagt Lolita u in vele gedaantes, oogverblindend en oorverdovend uit. Na een creatieve publiekspauze van vier jaar zijn Ted Langenbach en Pietra Ligura terug met Now&Wow. Op het strak uitverkochte Now&Wow Fest in Rotterdam, was Lolita Klup als mainstage 'talk of the town'. Paradiso Live StageIn de afgelopen veertig jaar is Paradiso uitgegroeid van ‘kosmisch ontspanningscentrum' tot poppodium, nachtclub en cultuurtempel in één, waar liberale clubavonden - van Lovedance tot Glitterazzi en van Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor tot Black Tea Party - een vaste plek hebben gekregen. Op de Paradiso Live Stage ervaar je dit ultieme gevoel in één. Supertoys by AIRSpeciaal voor onze kleurrijke en liberale aanhang met speels intellect komt Supertoys na legendarische nachten in AIR nu met een eigen stage. Laat je arrogantie, issues en andere ‘bad habits’ dus lekker thuis, want daar zit niemand op te wachten. We’re supposed to have fun!Het Milkshake Festival komt mede tot stand met hulp van de gemeente Amsterdam, samen met de ondernemers werkt de stad aan verbetering van de onderlinge samenwerking. Hierdoor ontstaan nieuwe innovatieve concepten die Amsterdam nationaal en internationaal weer een nieuwe impuls geeft als populaire Gay Destination.WE’RE READY, ARE YOU?

Organized as part of Qu?bec City?s 400th anniversary celebrations in 2008, the New France Festival was first held in 1997 at the behest of the Qu?bec City municipal authorities who were looking to set a historic festival inspired by the lives of the first European settlers against the background of Old Qu?bec.

Just like the enormous popular festivals of the past, the New France Festival is steeped in a fun and celebratory atmosphere that comes from both the planned activities and the extras who work the sites and the streets of Old Qu?bec and quickly spreads to everyone else involved in the festival, bringing the city to life every summer.
