The fabulous Miss First Nation started in Sydney and was the subject of the award-winning film Black Divaz, receiving praise for its originality and the endless charisma of the contestants. The event has since moved to Melbourne, however, and is back in 2021 as part of the city's Midsumma and Yirramboi festivals.
Miss First Nation is Australia's only national drag competition for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander performers, who represent areas from all over the country in categories including lip-sync, national costume and talent. This year, eight fine finalists will compete for the Miss First Nation crown over two heats held on two separate nights (May 4 and 5) before the showstopping grand final event on May 7.
This is one of Midsumma and Yirramboi's most popular events, so nab your tickets pronto if you don't want to be left out.
