In case you had any doubts about whether you'd be welcome at Rainbow Serpent Festival, event organisers have released a video that should clear up any confusion.
From a small gathering in a secluded clearing to an internationally recognised weekend of dance, colour, expression and celebration, Rainbow Serpent has become an event that people travel from all over the world to Western Victoria for.
The festival invited revelers from around the world to contribute videos celebrating their love of the event, and has cut them together to make this little gem.
"No matter where in the world you are from,
No matter your height, if you're short or you're long,
No matter that you love a girl or a boy,
It's the fact that you love and in love express joy.
No matter your colour, culture or creed,
No matter your flaws, real or perceived,
Your soul is beautiful, unique and rare,
And this is your time to contribute and share.
If not for the music and the rhythm of feet,
If not for the kindness of the people you'll meet,
If not for the markets and quality food,
If not for the art from the heart to be viewed,
If not for the costumes and crazy performers,
If not for the magic that flows through all corners,
If not for the speakers of wisdom that share,
For yourself is the reason for you to be there!"
