💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚💜💚It’s time to celebrate, create, and a-cappella-elevate together!
Where? Behind the War Memorial in McCabe Park.
The Femme Fatales are calling all women to join a jubilant wave of feminist energy at the 10th anniversary of the Honk! Oz festival. This isn’t just music-making; it’s a moment of connection, creativity, a-cappella and community.

What’s the Plan?
In a nutshell
🥁 Drum, shake, dance and SING TOGETHER! 🎤
☂️ Dress up your umbrellas with feminist slogans, get it off your chest stuff, save-the-planet , anti-war, or bursts of love and support.
🪧Or make a placard! 🪧
🎶 Join us in singing Move to the Beat by Jodi Phillis and the uplifting round, Belle Mama and play some 'feminist' rhythms!!
________________________________________
The Look:
💜💚PURPLE, GREEN, BLACK or a COMBO!💜💚
💛 Add a touch of GOLD (Why not shine?)
🌂 Bring an umbrella (Dress it up first!)
________________________________________
Why This Matters
Music has always been a force for resistance, joy, and solidarity. By gathering under the canopy of colourful umbrellas, we’re reclaiming public space as women, celebrating our identities, and expressing support for causes that matter to us all. Together, we’ll transform McCabe Park into a powerful symbol of feminist unity and then take it to the streets for the Honk! Oz parade.
________________________________________
Who Can Join?
This is a call to women in all their diversity to create a safe and vibrant space in McCabe Park. For the march through the mall, we welcome all who stand in solidarity with The Femme Fatales.
________________________________________
Spread the word, grab an umbrella, (do it up!) and meet us at McCabe Park!
🖤💜💚 Let’s groove for equality, for joy, and for fun’s sake.
