The Alligator Club First Birthday!
The Alligator Club Turns One!
A week of live music, celebrations, and giving back.
Monday 10 – Sunday 16 August
One year ago, we opened the doors to The Alligator Club. Since then, you've packed out our dance floor, supported live music, and made this place what it is today.
To say thanks, we're throwing a week-long birthday party - and everyone's invited.
Expect live music every night, daily specials, giveaways, and a week-long partnership with Valley Hearts, with every celebration helping support a great cause. The week all leads to our biggest party yet on Sunday 16 August, with birthday cake, live music, a DJ, and the reveal of how much we've raised together.
Celebrating with Valley Hearts
This year, we're marking our birthday by giving back.
Throughout birthday week, there are two easy ways you can help support Valley Hearts:
Every Gator Iced Tea sold will have its proceeds donated directly to Valley Hearts.
Every new Instagram follower we gain during birthday week unlocks another $1 donation.
We'll reveal the final fundraising total live at our birthday party on Sunday 16 August.
Seven Nights of Live Music
Live music takes over the venue every night of birthday week, with bonus early sets from 6–8pm on Friday and Saturday before the headline acts.
Check out the full lineup here.
Celebrate All Week
Visit The Alligator Club every day during birthday week and you'll receive a complimentary Alligator Club t-shirt and pint glass as our thank you.
Ask our team in venue how to track your visits.
Daily Specials
Every day brings a different supplier takeover, with exclusive daily specials throughout the week.
Check our socials to see what's being poured each day.
Sunday 16 August | Birthday Finale
We're finishing birthday week with our biggest celebration of the year.
Birthday cake for everyone
