We’re not free until we’re all free to be. The 47th annual Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade is set to take over Oxford Street, Flinders Street, and Anzac Parade on Saturday 1 March 2025. Set your true self free as the Mardi Gras magic makes its way down the heritage-listed Parade route for one of the largest LGBTQIA+ nighttime parades in the world.
Over 200 floats from every corner of our communities will strut, stroll, and roll from Hyde Park to Moore Park on Sydney’s night-of-nights. As is tradition, our fearless protectors the Dykes on Bikes, LGBTQIA+SB First Nations communities, and our beloved 78ers will lead over 11,000 marchers under the 2025 Festival theme: FREE TO BE.
Join hundreds of thousands of people from Hyde Park to Moore Park in free and premium ticketed viewing areas to witness the wonders of the LGBTQIA+ communities. Reminding the world of the beauty, power, and joy that comes from freedom.
The Sydney Mardi Gras Parade is for everyone, that’s why there will be a free Accessible Parade Viewing Area (by application) that includes a free shuttle to and from public transport, low-sensory zones, flat road-level access, accessible amenities, and more.
