Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade

Sydney
New South Wales

This is Ecstatica — the 48th anniversary of the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, lighting up Oxford Street and Flinders Street, on Saturday 28 February 2026.

Over 200 floats and 12,000 marchers will bring the night to life — led proudly by our 78ers, First Nations LGBTQIA+SB communities, and the fearless icons who continue to shape our story. Together, they’ll transform Sydney’s most famous streets into a dazzling current of queer celebration and activism — a reminder of how far we’ve come, and how bright we burn when we rise together.

Join hundreds of thousands of people from Hyde Park to Moore Park as the Parade turns the city electric — a living, breathing spectacle of love, unity, and ecstatic joy.

From free viewing areas to premium viewing and Accessible Viewing Zones with inclusive amenities and shuttle transfers, the Parade is for everyone — because joy means more when it’s shared.

This is our party.

This is our power.

This is Ecstatica.
