A gathering with the purpose of mass suicide, usually by members of a cult.
The phrase comes from the November 1978 mass suicide of the members of the Peoples Temple Agricultural Project, colloquially known as "Jonestown", in Guyana. Over 900 people died from ingesting Flavor Aid, a powdered drink mix similar to Kool-Aid, laced with cyanide and other chemicals. This is also the origin of the phrase "Drink the Kool-Aid".

a sarcastic name for the final gathering of a religious sect on which they all commit suicide by drinking poison usually mixed with some kind of water-soluble fruit drink (not specifically Kool-Aid), perhaps to soften the taste. They all drink poison, lay down and die.
The jonestown massacre was one hell of a kool aid party.
