The Elephant Hotel Block Party
The Medics, Babaganouj, Good Oak, the Bacchanales and Good Boy drop by The Elephant on public holiday eve.
Overview
If there's ever a time to stampede into the Elephant Hotel, it's a long weekend. For the folks at the Wickham Street mainstay, a state-approved break from the weekday grind is cause for much merriment — which is why they've perfected the public holiday eve block party.
The English-style establishment held their first such shenanigans back in April, and it went down such a treat that they're breaking out the streamers and balloons for another go around. Okay, there might not be decorations, but there will be plenty of fun. Just add celebrating the Queen's Birthday to the list of things the Elephant does well, like pub food that doesn't taste like pub food, and bringing meat tray raffles into Fortitude Valley.
They also excel when it comes to music, as all pub-based block parties should. Local legends the Medics have scored the headline spot alongside fellow Brisbanites Babaganoüj, with Good Oak, the Bacchanales, Good Boy and Walking Bird joining them in a jam-packed lineup. Now that's how you celebrate a public holiday.
