“We’re All Mad Here! You’re Welcome!" Because we have all been down the rabbit hole through these isolating and wet times, we have created the ultimate Alice in Wonderland festival experience for you to dance, dress up, play and reconnect.
We’re turning the magnificent Sydney Town Hall into a wonderland of music, colour, creativity, connection and dance. Including a rabbit hole experience, a Mad Hatters Tea Party, costume parades, fun games and an epic line-up of artists, entertainers and performers across 2 stages.
Xstatic Sunsets, famous for going all out with their themed dress up and dance parties creating high energy dance floors, are creating their biggest production yet. Expect next level decor, performance art, theatrical surprises and a line-up of artists who nail their dance music genres to raise the roof of Sydney Town Hall. Prepare those dancing shoes.
Go down our rabbit hole to enter Wonderland and be transported into another world met by whimsical characters, entertainers and performers. Arrive early from 2pm to enjoy the Mad Hatters Tea Party experience with tea and tasty treats included and play a host of fun games before the Welcome to Country at 2:30pm.
Our Mad Hatters Main Stage in Centennial Hall will take you on a musical journey to raise the energy of the dance floor with a creative, curated and Fun line-up playing everything from Reggae to House, 80’s, Soul, Funk, and Techno to Bass, all to keep you expressing yourself, moving and dancing. And our whimsical Mushroom Stage will welcome you in Vestibule Hall showcasing an array of comedy, magic, poetry and musical performances.
Throughout the night you will have a chance to take centre stage in our costume parades (by Alice in Wonderland characters) with prizes for best dressed. So which Alice in Wonderland character will you dress up as?! We can’t wait to see!!
