  • MESSAGE from the MARDI GRAS BOARD Welcome to the 40Th Anniversary of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras
    MESSAGE FROM THE MARDI GRAS BOARD Welcome to the 40th anniversary of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras. No matter whether you are joining us from near or far, your journey brings you to a place that always was and always will be Aboriginal land. We acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional custodians of the land on which our celebrations are held, the Gadigal people of the Eora Nation. Our history as a community and as an organisation is remarkable and this year we look back and celebrate 40 Years of Evolution. At our events, including Fair Day, Queer Thinking, Parade and Party, we will revel in a brighter future as we remember and rejoice in everything that has brought us to where we are today. Mardi Gras’ Museum of Love & Protest will provide a forum for us all to reflect on the stories and artefacts that have so richly coloured our shared history. Mardi Gras is a time for us to come together and stand united. It is a celebration of what makes us unique and makes us a community. The past year has been incredibly hard for members of our community. Our events are spaces to come together and support each other, reach out and make new connections and nurture those we love. We especially welcome those among us who face additional barriers; young people, First Nations people, the trans community and our LGBTQI elders. In 2018 the whole world will be watching Sydney and we invite you to share in this journey. No matter whether you are joining us for the first time or for the 40th, this promises to be an unforgettable Festival.

  • Introducing Sydney
    INTRODUCING SYDNEY THIS IMAGE NOT AVAILABLE IN PICK & MIX Sydney doesn’t care what you think of him; he knows he’s fabulous. He’s got it all – he’s sporty, arty, sexy, suc cessful, confident, good-looking and damn interesting. His Australian siblings won’t admit to being jealous, but who wouldn’t be? You’d hate him too, if he wasn’t so completely charming. He’s got a sunny disposition, but can be rather dry. Sure, he’s got his rough edges and his problems, but he keeps them all well hidden behind his dazzling façade. He’s a bit Manly and a lot Darling (Harbour, Point, -hurst, -ton). What’s more, Sydney is easy. He’s an easy city to visit – easy to get around, easy to strike good weather, easy to have a good time. There are no bushels hiding Sydney’s talents – he knows what he’s got and shows it off. The same can be said for his inhabitants. The stereotypical Sydneysider isn’t demure. What’s the point of a shirt if you’ve got abs you could wash clothes on? The Sydney experience can be so many different things. It’s the smell of frangipanis on a balmy summer night. It’s knocking back a cold beer at a beachside pub. It’s catching a show at the Opera House. It’s the sound of a 10-year-old girl screaming ‘smash him’ as a rugby league player takes down an opponent. It’s stumbling across an Aboriginal rock carving on a harbour headland.
