Monday Fancy Dress Party Night, Eat Street
The 2021 Fancy Dress Dinner will be held at Eat Street – the very popular eating area consisting of shipping containers converted for the myriad of vendors that the fancy dress guests will get to sample. The theme is outlined in the poem below:
All-out Street Party
In our Eat street there is a party happening
It's part carnival, part street parade: a definition is challenging
But the neighbours have come out to have some fun
There is no doubt that this party is the one
For a Rio street carnival you don your feathers, mask and head-dress
With heels and a leotard you are sure to impress
Celebrating the Chinese New Year under the dragon head
Mexicans honour loved ones by dressing up for Day of the Dead
In a street parade there are uniforms for the marching band
And the Mardi Gras full of fun and a twirling hand
The ticker tape is flying for the winning team this year
The cheerleaders perform extreme stunts with a cheer
Block party with your neighbours and friends in the sun
Invite the new cool couple to town who bring the fun
Who has wandered outside still in their dressing gown?
Standing by the guy in shorts and singlet holding a bottle in brown
So, this is it, our all-out street party celebration
Let’s make tonight live up to the party night reputation
Additional Member Ticket: $210
Additional Non-Member Ticket: $265
Tuesday Partners’ Day
We have two options for you to choose from for today – a tour of the local XXXX Brewery or a High Tea at Customs House! The tour of XXXX Brewery will feature the historic architecture and offer over 140 years of history, their brewing methods and an all-important lesson on how to pour the perfect pint.
Customs House comes with a little French elegance as you are given a glass of Louis Roederer Brut Premier Champagne, considered one of the greats in the world of champagne. Enjoy your glass of bubbly whilst you admire the view of Brisbane’s iconic Story Bridge.
