Mother City Queer Project strips down
We’ve heard all about the fabulara MCQP aka MotherCityQueerProject but never got to experience the hedonistic delights of this event that draws thousands of guests from all over the world… Cape Town’s must do event of the year – we wish all the holiday makers luck as this years event takes place at Ratanga Junction in peak holiday season the 1…
6 December ’06.:
In a strategic coup, MCQP organisers are thrilled to announce they have secured the most popular MCQP venue ever – Ratanga Junction for this year’s party, COMIC STRIP! On the 16th December, thousands of locals, and international tourists, will dance the night away at the party of the year, in the spectacular theme park. Last year, the thousands of party people who attended the extraordinary event voted Ratanga Junction best venue ever for MCQP.
Ratanga Junction, situated on the N1 near Canal Walk is a dream venue for a party like MCQP. Its proximity to town makes it accessible, and yet it has the capacity and space that many in town facilities cannot offer. Parking is plentiful; party revelers are safe and shielded from weather and wind which has plagued the event in years gone by; and the theme park has an atmosphere of magical creativity, which makes a gay theme party come alive.
Parking is safe and abundant and surrounds the venue. All the facilities one needs are close at hand: from food to public phones, cash machines to conveniently situated ablutions, and there are facilities for disabled persons.
The Mother City Queer Project is a costume party of epic proportions that attracts a wide variety of people from all walks of life and from every major continent around the world. Costume design starts months in advance with many people going to great lengths to design fantastic creations. The theme is just the starting point for some wild and wonderful costumes. The event itself is a dance party infused with live bands, interesting acts as well as a variety of top DJ’s playing 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and current musical beats across several dance floors on Ratanga’s island complex.
Since its takeover last year, party organisers have invested time, money and energy into this colourful brand with the objective of turning it into a festival of celebration and excitement. For the first time in its 13-year history, MCQP presents the official after party, COMIC STRIPPED, that is scheduled to take place in the De Waterkant Village on 17th December. All the dýcor and entertainment elements of the main party will be incorporated into the after party as well as additional surprises that remain to be seen.
COMIC STRIP…is this year’s awesome theme!
Local or legendary, from Gotham City to Benoni, all you Superheroes and Heroines will fly in for the ultimate showdown. From Madam and Eve to Madam and Steve, Bat to Super, Cat to Powder, all you men and women cloaked up and dressed down, because maybe you want to go lateral, or maybe you’ll find a way to comically strip as the night wears on!
