Brisbane’s biggest celebration of Queer arts and culture, Melt Festival runs from 21st October to 8th November, and this year Florentijn Hofman’s Rubber Duck has turned pink for its first Brisbane River / Maiwar appearance, right in front of Supernormal.
Drop in to meet the duck and sip our Melt Festival-inspired, hot-pink cocktail — the Spicy Flamingo — the perfect pit stop in between exploring the festival's program across the city.
On Saturday 24th October, the River Pride Parade takes to the Brisbane River, with front-row seats available at Supernormal to take in all the action.
Melt Festival is produced by Brisbane Powerhouse, and we’re proud to be a partner of this year’s program.
The Spicy Flamingo —
Don Julio Blanco tequila with fresh watermelon, elderflower and a little jalapeño. Juicy sweetness, a delicate floral lift and a slow, warm kick.
