    Monday Fancy Dress Party Night, Eat Street
    The 2022 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

    We need face to faces, we’re all craving connection
    Let’s re-fill the spaces, with confetti this convention
    We’ve locked down our emotions, we need to release
    Beauty has faded, so let’s bring out the beast!

    We’re calling ALL PIPELINERS to Eat Street, North Shore
    Dressed for fun and frivolity, it’s time to hear the party roar
    Past colourful containers, just down the lane
    This street party carnival, will be downright INSANE!

    Drive in the food trucks, unshackle the neighbours
    Big bands and trumpets, let’s rattle those sabres
    Festive with lederhosen, a stein and a grin
    “Yodel ay hee hoo” it is time to jump in

    Fat beats on Monday, with Mardi Gras flair
    Bright pink flamingos, leopard print, stunning hair
    In the year of the tiger, this event will be zealous
    Red lions launching fireworks, now that makes me jealous!

    Come dressed as a float from a ticker tape parade
    A Christmas pageant with claws, or a protest blockade
    A mysterious masked venetian, slips into the foray
    It’s Carnival time, let us sing, “that’s amore!”

    Wake-up the locals, street race furious and fast
    It’s the Dia de los Muertos, and you don’t want to be last
    Stroll down Abbey Road, to a crowd full of mania
    Hey Jude, did you hear? This party will be insania!
