'Hello Kitty' Rave

Overview

Why just go to a regular rave when you can party like one of your favourite pop-culture characters? It worked for Shrek, so now it's Hello Kitty's turn. Expect ample pink, plus fans of a certain fictional cat-like Japanese figure everywhere. Yuko Shimizu mightn't have had this in mind when she designed Sanrio's most-famous creation, but it's happening in Brisbane on Friday, December 15 anyway.

This Hello Kitty celebration includes Hello Kitty-themed drinks, a Hello Kitty DJ set, a Hello Kitty meet and greet with said DJ, plus a free Hello Kitty-themed glitter station. Fancy taking snaps against a Hello Kitty balloon wall? Scoring Hello Kitty plushies as souvenirs? That's all also on offer at Wonderland Brisbane from 8pm.

Your ticket also covers free Chupa Chups and glow sticks — but you will pay for your sips, which come with names like 'Wet Kitty Shots', 'Sanrio Slushies' and 'Hello Kitty Juice'.

Cosplay is heartily encouraged, obviously, and that means more than just wearing a bow.
