Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras

The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras annual pride parade celebrates the LGBT community.

Attended by hundreds of thousands of people annually, the Mardi Gras is one of the year’s biggest events.

The Mardi Gras is best known for the Pride Parade and Party, but also has many other fun events, including the Sissy Ball, Mardi Gras Film Festival, Fair Day, pool parties, exhibitions, live performances, comedy acts, talks and presentations and so much more. Make sure to come and visit the Mardi Gras if you are in Sydney during February / March.

The world-renowned Parade returns to Oxford Street to celebrate Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras’ 46th anniversary. This dazzling display of LGBTQIA+ excellence showcases the beauty and strength of pride and self-expression as we continue the fight for equality.

As the biggest event of the Sydney WorldPride festival, all eyes will be on our 12,500 marchers as 200+ floats adorn Oxford Street. Expect all your Parade favourites, from the famous rumble of the Dykes on Bikes to the quintessentially Australian Lifesavers With Pride and the many wonders of our LGBTQIA+ communities.
