PACT HOUSE: KOORI KHRISTMAS PARTY

PACT HOUSE: KOORI KHRISTMAS PARTY

14 DECEMBER, 5 PM - 10 PM
PACT, 107 Railway Parade, Erskineville
Curated by Gili Gatherings

Hosted by Instagram’s favourite Koori sensation, Isaac Compton, this year’s Koori Khristmas Party is a celebration you won’t want to miss. Join us for a night of music, joy, and resilience — by mob, for mob, and all allies in between. 

Curated by Gili Gatherings, meaning "glitter on the water" in the Gadi language, the night is about shining together. Come and party with the emerging artists of tomorrow and the trailblazers that light the path today. Dress in whatever makes you feel radiant, and celebrate the vibrant strength of our communities! 

Note: "Koori" is a term used by Aboriginal people from New South Wales and Victoria, honouring cultural identity and connection.
