From community events to huge dance parties, these experiences are not just events; they are the heart and soul of the Mardi Gras celebration that you won't want to miss. It's not just celebrating the LGBTQAI+ community, but rather it's a festival of frivolity, if you will.

In the language of the Gadigal people this theme translates as –  Mana Nangamai Djuralli – honoring Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander voices who have lived and loved on this land for over 60,000 years. The Festival theme – GATHER, DREAM, AMPLIFY – guided the creation of a Festival that reflected the rainbow strength and creativity of our communities. To use public transport including buses, trains, ferries and light rail in Sydney, you can either purchase an Opal card or use a credit card with tap-and-go functionality. In 1980 a key new element was introduced – the post-parade party. The face of the modern Mardi Gras we know today was taking shape.

Earlier in the day, eager party-goers had lined up along the Oxford Street barricades — some since the morning — to get the best vantage point to watch the parade. Rainbows, giant pot plants and an oversized yak were among the quirky floats, while the music of Queen, PNAU, Daft Punk and John Farnham reverberated through the city's gay district for the annual party. Split across six venues, run wild at the ultimate pride playground – from the tech house rave at Liberty Hall, whole-body house in the Hordern Pavilion, the pumping Forecourt and every other corner to explore.
Of course you must seeSydney’smost iconic sites the Opera House, Harbour Bridge and Bondi Beach. Well theparadetakes place in theSydney CBDand runs along Oxford Street, so if you want to be close to the action, and close to most ofSydney’s iconic sights then booking accommodation in the Sydney CBA is highly recommended! There are also lots of restaurants, clubs, shops and cafes in the area and you have easy access to everywhere in the city. TheSydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Graswasn’t always the extravagant sequin-studdedparadethat it is today. Back in 1978 a group of young queerAustraliansdecided to protest the criminalisation of homosexuality inAustralia. Most groups represent an organisation, theme or political message.Drag queens,community heroes,queer performers, LGBTQI groupsjoin with allies from all walks of life to creating amazing performances and jaw droppingfloats.
The 2025 Festival themeFREE TO BEis a celebration of the strides toward true LGBTQIA+ equality while also acting as a global reminder that our fight is far from over, and that we are not truly free until we are all free to be. A club atmosphere, nightly fetish themes and DJs to keep your night going. Everything Party first opened its doors seven years ago, but our team has been helping Sydney locals with their party planning needs for two solid decades.

“This Festival we celebrate all the amazing activists and leaders, including our 78ers, who have fought tirelessly for our rights over the last four decades,” says Mardi Gras Arts CEO, Terese Casu. “We also invite and welcome new friends to join the festivities to celebrate 40 years of fabulousness. 2018 marks the historic 40th anniversary of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
