Mardi Gras Fair Day 2020
Dance your way into 2020’s Mardi Gras festival at this community picnic in the park.
Overview
One of the first events in the Mardi Gras festival is a family-friendly, pup-friendly, eco glitter-friendly day in the park that's inclusive, relaxed and absolutely free to attend.
There's always a fancy dress competition for doggos, 200 market stalls from the LGBTQI+ community, a main stage with leading queer performers in Australian music, plus the chance to shine brightly with 80,000-or-so of your nearest and dearest chosen family.
It's a landmark event on the Mardi Gras calendar, and everyone gets into the party spirit with spotlight-ready outfits that'll take you into the night when the official after party kicks on.
This year's lineup features queer artists Bec Sandridge and Ngaiire — so it's safe to say the organisers have excellent taste. Save the date and start planning what to wear for the event that launches a 17-day celebration of diversity, equality, justice and good times.
