J germeister Night Embassy in partnership with Other Village People, made up of event producer and DJ Andiswa Dlamini (AN.D) as well as cultural worker and curator Kefiloe Siwisa, debuted the Queertopia festival in 2021.
Queertopia is a festival that embodies OVP's desire to foster spaces that prioritise queer communities and collaboration
Queertopia is an immersive queer-centred festival that normalises and celebrates our differences. This fictitious new world order has its own forms of expression and communities that reimagine the world we live in,

After a successful campaign that supported the first edition of Queertopia by OVP, in 2021, J germeister Night Embassy is going deeper into this movement and continuing to fulfil their mission to support different cultures, communities and creative voices,
says Mpumi from J germeister Night Embassy. OVP runs three queer-centered platforms: Queertopia; SSS (Same Sex Saturday) a party space in Johannesburg, Cape Town and Durban, as well as Grounded, an intimate series of alternative experiences from hikes to dinners and everything in between.
Day 1 - December 10th 2022 Attendees will check in at the Queertopia welcome centre where they will be (re)orientated and transported into the world of the festival. The Queertopia party experience will be a celebration of music, dancing, self-expression, and communal connection through a line-up of exciting local live acts alongside DJs to bring in the party.
There will be screenings of queer films and guided conversation circles that encourage attendees to share space and experiences alongside a concept store with unique Queertopia merchandise and flash tattoos on offer.
Day 2 - December 11th 2022 On the second day, the Queertopia concert experience will include an experimental line-up of local live acts and DJs. This day will encourage deep listening, connection and joy over food and music. The screenings and guided conversation circles will continue, and attendees will also be able to take a moment in the zen room to breathe and just be.
Tickets are available on Quicket.
