The Mother City Queer Project, Let the Summer begin! December in Cape Town
The MCQP party takes place in December in Cape Town. Each year the theme is different. More than 10,000 people attend the event. MCQP, which started in 1994 as a highlight on the Cape Town gay calendar, has grown into South Africa’s biggest dress-to-theme party attended by all sorts of fun-loving creatives, from all over the world.
Venue – Cape Town Stadium – 5 floors of different music and vibes. The
2019 theme is “Loveball”.
The Love Ball has six main performance areas in play: Head to Toe, Hair Spectacular, Beauty and Face, Move to the Groove, Dressing Room, and The Winners Podium. Of course, the ball would not be a competition without its winners’ trophies. To quote “I went to a ball, I won. I got a trophy, and now everybody wants to play with me.”
Guests to arrive in a myriad of audacious outfits. “The dress code is whatever you feel best in, gowns, leather, togs or less-is-more. It’s a show biz game – anything goes!
MCQP’s loveball will be a combination of music festival, circuit party, burlesque cabaret, drag variety show, circus, and Viennese ball with on-field antics, locker room language and sweaty Springboks.
