Mardi Gras Fair Day

Presented by American Express

Kick off Sydney WorldPride in true Mardi Gras style – Fair Day! Roll up with your dog, your Nan and your neighbour as the Mardi Gras festivities begin at our all-day rainbow extravaganza in Victoria Park.

No matter which letters of the LGBTQIA+ community you represent, there is something for everyone at Fair Day. Taking you from day to night, this is one of the community’s most-loved events bringing over 200 retail, information and food stalls, sample giveaways and family-friendly picnic areas, with entertainment featuring Carla Wehbe, Mama de Leche, Penelope Pettigrew and The Buoys. The revered Doggywood pageant has had a glam makeover, plus you’ll experience music and live performances across multiple stages and dancefloors – as well as plenty of bars and food options. 

Don’t miss our mini Vogue Ball to leave you buzzing in anticipation of the Festival ahead.

Highlighting the importance of safe, celebratory spaces for LGBTQIA+SB First Nations communities, the First Nations Circle serves as  a powerful reminder for all of us that Sydney WorldPride is held on unceded Aboriginal land.  It will be a meeting place, a space for conversation, learning, celebration and culture open to both mob and the wider community; including  a community tent, an elder’s tent, LGBTQIA+SB First Nations performance, businesses and more.

All ages welcome.
