It’s fun, it’s vibrant, it’s sassy… it’s Mardi Gras! Celebrate love and diversity by supporting the LGBTQIA+ community with your pup. There’s plenty of fun activities and events happening, so get dressed in your most fab outfits and head out on the town.
In 1978, Mardi Gras first started as a small protest for LGBTQIA rights in the streets of Darlinghurst, and has now become one of Sydney’s most talked about events. With numerous events, activities, food tastings, art installations and more showcased over two jam-packed weeks, both locals and visitors flock to Sydney to be part of this global celebration of pride.
This year, Sydney Mardi Gras and WorldPride are collaborating for the first time to bring you an unforgettable event. Sydney WorldPride 2023 is expected to draw 500,000 participants over 17 days.
