As a celebration of a too-often marginalised society, this is a very welcome addition to the Mardi Gras calendar indeed.

Klub Koori, in association with Gadigal Information Service and ACON, is set to host a Mardi Gras afterparty designed in part to celebrate members of Australia’s indigenous LGBTQI community.

The party will feature performances from Aboriginal musicians Jessie Lloyd and Ben Fraietta, as well as drag queens Destiny Haz Arrived, Black Pearl and many more. It’s set to be a stunning showcase of the the LGBTQI community’s diversity, a side of the culture not often acknowledged by the mainstream media. And of course, it’s bound to be messy and debauched in all the right ways too. Get on it!

The Klub Koori Mardi Gras After Party Hits Hermann’s Bar on Saturday March 5. More information is available on the event’s Facebook page, here.
