A taste of what’s coming to Oz Kink Fest 2018

Strap yourself in and prepare for the ride; Oz Kink Fest is back once again bringing fetish enthusiasts, experts and retailers together for the kinkiest 10 days Melbourne has seen!
Open to anyone over the age of 18, the Oz Kink Fest is an annual festival in September for the alternate and kink community of Australia, uniting all those of alternative lifestyles and sexuality groups. The festival offers a variety of opportunities, events and talented persons who present on a wide range of techniques and skills for all interests and kinks – whether they are a fetish fashionista, a curious newbie or an experienced and seasoned player.
With 10 days of kink to explore and zero judgement, we’ve rounded up some highlights from the program.
Fetish Expo
A place to meet and socialise with others who have similar interests, and a place to fulfil your shopping fetish, the Fetish Expo is where you’ll want to be. With a unique trading and socialising environment, the expo features more than 60 local and interstate stallholders – with the majority specialising in toys for men, including major sponsors, Aphrodite’s Pleasure, Lucrezia and De Sade, Sanctuary, Sex Life Therapy, and Eagle Leather. Here, you’ll find everything and anything, from shoes to corsets or even whips and chains – whatever your fetish, you will find it here. The expo also features performances every hour (including a tempting live show by MenXclusive), fantastic food, educational and community connection opportunities and a Grand Fashion Show which showcases some of Australia’s finest alternative designers. If you’re not sure what you’re into, or you just want to dip your toes in and buy yourself something pretty, than the Fetish Expo is the event for you.
Saturday 15th September 12pm – 7pm
Fetish Expo After Party
As the sun goes down prepare to party as the guest DJ whips up the crowd’s enthusiasm while the many play areas will be kept busy. There will be play and dungeon areas to satisfy your kinky cravings (maybe even test out your day’s purchases) so dress up in your finest fetish wear and party the night away. This is a licensed event so you get to enjoy the bar too!
Saturday 15th September 8.30pm – Midnight
Hellfire Resurrection
Held at Chasers Nightclub in South Yarra, this is undoubtedly one of the best fetish nights in Australia! Promising an amazing night with some of Australia’s kinkiest performers, go all out and dress to impress in your finest fetish wear – seriously, the dress code is strictly FETISH. Think leather, latex, goth, glam, burlesque and alternative, the list goes on. DJ Scott Anderson will be on the decks whipping up the crowd enthusiasm so you can get down and dirty on the dance floor or get creative in the play areas. There is also a quieter social chill out bar area where you can explore the more intimate pleasures the night has to offer. Dance, play, socialise and enjoy the night!
