Mardi Party 2021

We’ve got Mardi Gras celebrations coming out the wazoo on the Saturday 6th March, paying homage to the pioneers and divas of our community and recognising 43 years of Sydney’s Mardi Gras!

While this year’s festival looks a little different to normal, we are very excited to offer a range of events across the night. The Imperial is proud to serve the wider rainbow community and its allies, as a refuge of love and a sanctuary of self expression.

IMPERIAL UP VIP MARDI LOUNGE

5pm-10pm

Rally your best Judies and indulge in the ULTIMATE luxe VIP Mardi Gras experience! Proudly brought to you by Don Julio. We’re transforming Carlotta’s lounge and the UP Rooftop into a groovy tequila lounge with retromodern feels and vivacious vibes!

A ticket to this event includes a Don Julio rainbow margarita slushie on arrival, an Italian grazing feast of canapes and pizza, and a 5-hr bottomless beverage package!

Enjoy a live stream of the 2021 Sydney Mardi Gras Parade with the best seat in the house! An intimate dining experience hosted by resident drag queen, the fabulous Etcetera Etcetera – this is one night you don’t want to miss.

Book Carlotta’s Lounge: $169pp

Book Rooftop Lounge: $200pp, includes free entry to our Mardi Party

BASEMENT PARADE VIEWING PARTY

5-10pm | $30pp

Our Basement Parade Viewing Party in the Basement is a slightly more casual affair, get your glittter on and come celebrate with an old queen (or two!) and have a grand dame of a time in our club-come-cabaret space. Enjoy performances from Impy icons Dorreen Manganini, Farren Heit and Ruby Slippers, as they guide you through a night of camp conversation and the live stream of the parade on our giant LED TV screen!
