We love Sydney Mardi Gras - having attended since 1993, it's the single most important day for Queer people in not only Sydney but for visitors who attend from all around the world.
After the success of our World Pride Pop up in 2023, where Harlem Starlet were the only Australian business to be invited to be a part of the Interpride World Pride Hub on Oxford Street in Darlinghurst and met thousands of people, and taking a break in 2024 thanks to health challenges, we are back in 2025 bigger and better than ever, and we give you the Sip Shop Slay Mardi Gras Pop Up!
This year we've teamed up with our pals Qweer Clothing, Hams Made, No Milk in my T and Campy Claws to create the Sip Shop Slay pop up shop, at 551e King Street in Newtown.
From Tuesday 25th Feb until Saturday 1st March 2025 you can shop all things rainbow instore. We will have our fabulous queer earrings, bamboo fans, glitter clutch bags, keyrings, pins, stickers and slay bags in store. We have everything you need to accessorize your Sydney Mardi Gras float outfits, so march in style with fun accessories to complete your look.
Accessorizing any Mardi Gras Outfit is hard, but we've made it easier for you to bring your fit in, have a browse and try things on in real time. Our friends Qweer are bringing along their fabulous hats & tshirts, Hams Made have your sunglasses & hairbands covered and Campy Claws have hand sculpted acrylic nails that are all one of a kind sets. No Milk in my T will also be selling their merch to raise money for their 4th champion, and we hope to raise the funds for them in record time.
