Embrace The Darkness With This Deeply Goth Christmas In July Feast

The Winter Solstice has come and passed, easily the spookiest time of the year. And with that, we launch into the dead of winter, which is also pretty grim and gloomy and is the perfect time to sit and eat a bunch of food, drinking hot boozy bevvies, and leaning into the monochromatic wardrobe that we all quietly hung onto since our own respective emo/goth phases. Or if you’re like me, your normal clothes.

July is also the time where Christmas In July happens because Christmas over here is actually bullshit hot and you really shouldn’t be slaving over an oven and stove in a stifling heat that makes you sweat as soon as you wake up/get out of the shower/move/breathe. Who really wants to eat a warming roast in the thick of summer? Stop fooling yourselves.

This year, the team behind Kraken Black Spiced Rum are leaning right into the gothiest parts of your soul and serving up a very special Kraken Kristmas In July feast, filled with blackened dishes full of comfort food that your mum would probably dish up at Xmas lunch – if she were also an occult-loving banshee who listens to nothing but Deafheaven and Sleep.

The offering to the altar of the midnight mass is travelling through SydneyMelbourne and Perth (arguably the most metal city in Australia), stopping in for a one-night feast that you can absolutely cop tickets to.

Sydney’s up first on Friday 13th – the perfect date for Goth Christmas In July – at Porteño Events in Surry Hills, Perth’s up next on Thursday 19th over at The Flour Factory, and Melbourne’s big feast is at A Hereford Beefstouw on July 25. Prepare your stomachs for a whole range of bespoke dark magic cocktails (no weird blood used, I swear), perfect your winged eyeliner and fish your best creepers out of your cupboard, and get your ‘gram ready for a whole host of grim as hell #content.

Tickets are going for $120 which gets you food and drinks all night, a take-home gift (!!) and a night full of entertainment.
