Hello, my angel Unicorn muffins!

I’m delsi (they/them) and 13+ years ago, I created a little thing called Unicorns.

Growing up, I was always drawn to performance art, warehouse parties, house music, and sweaty, special dancefloor moments. But as a young queer, I struggled to find a space where I could show up as my whole self and feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

When I came out in my mid 20s, finding where I fit in was a bit of a struggle. I wanted a place where I could be with all my queer friends in one space - and not just let in, but enthusiastically celebrated as we walked through the doors.

So, I made Unicorns.

Unicorns began in a small warehouse in the industrial suburb of St Peters, Sydney. I still remember being surprised when 70 people showed up to that very first event. Now, every time a venue fills with a sea of beautiful, queer faces, I’m filled with happiness and gratitude.

At Unicorns, the goal is to create a space where people across the whole of the LGBTQIA+ community can come together to support, uplift, connect, and celebrate each other.

It’s a playground to explore self-expression - wear an outfit the really represents you, cover yourself in paint and eco-glitter, dance, hear euphoric tunes, watch incredible performance art and come together to celebrate how wonderful it is to be queer.

It is also a space where we learn more about the letters of the acronym that are not our own, where we build bigger communities of support for ourselves and others, where we contribute to community care and come out feeling stronger, recharged, more connected and ready to head back out into the wider world.

It’s an environment built on love, encouragement, and kindness - and a reminder of how incredible it is to be queer.

Over the years, Unicorns has grown and evolved to aim to meet different needs within our community. From queer fitness groups, to peer support clubs, to healthy relationship workshops, eco-glitter stations, queer craft classes, dating + friendship making events - to even once a giant 12 hour queer festival.

Unicorns only pops up a couple of times a year - whether in Naarm or Gadigal Land and tickets often disappear pretty quickly. The best way to make sure you don’t miss out is to sign up to our newsletter where we give you the first tip about when the next tix will be released.

Alongside Unicorns, I also support workplaces and organisations through keynote speaking, training, and workshops focused on LGBTQIA+ inclusion and safer cultures. If you’re here looking for that work, you can find it at withdelsi.com.

Thank you for the past 13+ years of love, community, celebration, and dance floor magic. I’m so excited to see what the next 10+ years bring and how we continue to grow and evolve together.

Excited to see you on planet Unicorns sometime soon!
