Bondi Beach Party Guide

Party people at the ready! The beach is back, Saturday 24 Feb.

That’s right, last year’s iconic Bondi Beach party with headliner, Nicole Scherzinger (everyone’s favourite Pussycat Doll), is set to hit the shores of the world’s most loved beach for it’s second year. While Nicole won’t be joining us, this year is forecasted to bring sun, sand and some incredible international DJs and performers – the line-up is still a mystery, and the anticipation is palpable.

Situated just a stone’s throw away from the sandy shore, we consider ourselves local connoisseurs with exclusive insights. So, if you’re looking for the ultimate pre-party guide before you head to the sea, we’ve got you covered.

QT Bondi Recommends

Kickstart your day at the kiosk at the Promenade Bondi Beach. Not only can you scope out the Beach Party event space, but the kiosk is also home to the best bacon and egg rolls. Biased? Perhaps. You be the judge and try it for yourself.

Once you’d had breakfast and possibly a dip, head over to Curlewis Street for a restoration experience to slow down and recharge with our neighbours at Slow House offer a range of treatments. If you want our advice, go for the infrared sauna, to prepare your body for an afternoon of dancing, death-drops and drag queens.

For last-minute outfit additions, trot across the road and head straight on until morning until you reach the mecca of clothes, shoes, and accessories – Tuchuzy! Need sunglasses? They’ve got it. Jewellery? They’ve got it. A fur coat? Okay, you’re not going to need that in an Australian summer, but you get our drift.

Lunchtime calls, and the new kid on the block, Easy Tiger, is a must. Led by Head Chef Andrianto Wirya, this modern Asian eating house offers a feast of Southeast Asian flavours served in a shared-style experience. Flash your QT room key for a cheeky discount.

And finally, for the finale of your pres, North Bondi Fish are shaking up good things, and you certainly deserve a drink after all that pre-party prep. Perch yourself on the corner of North Bondi, and enjoy a tipple or two preshow.

From 2pm the gates will officially open to Our Future, the Sydney Mardi Gras Bondi Beach party 2.0! Dance into the future, with a commitment of inclusivity, acceptance and optimism, celebrating past achievements while illuminating the path to a dazzling future, bursting at the sequined seams.

Heels at the ready.
