Mardi Gras Closing Party at Kinselas Hotel, Featuring Keli Holiday

Overview

Getting immersed in Mardi Gras? You've probably heard the news that the official after-party has been cancelled. The reason? Jesse Matheson, CEO of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, said the decision was made because Mardi Gras is already facing "significant financial loss."

Fortunately, Darlinghurst's much-loved Kinselas Hotel has stepped in to host a free Mardi Gras Closing Party on Sunday, March 1. Serving up an easy, inclusive way to wrap up the weekend, this community-led event is sure to send off Pride with rainbow-filled fun.

Held in Kinselas' Chapel Bar, the venue has scored itself a top-notch headline act to lead the party vibes. That'd be Keli Holiday — the alter ego of Peking Duk's Adam Hyde — fresh off his number two placing in Triple J's Hottest 100.

With the party starting from midday and running late, expect a full-day extravaganza filled with supporting DJ sets from the likes of Tseba alongside non-stop dancing. Entry is free and everyone's welcome to head along and share the neon love.
