Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival 2014
The parade is just the cherry on top.
Overview
There's the parade, yes. But before that, nearly a month of cultural and celebratory events of all stripes makes up the festival of Sydney Mardi Gras, and there's something for everybody, even Straighty McStraight-Straight. Who relates absolutely and 100 percent to the social expectations of their gender and sexuality? Nobody, probably. And that's something to love, savour, and take away from this most iconic of Sydney events.
This year, there's a sports festival, art you can dance to, DIY monster workshops and the next stage in the life of Strictly Ballroom, among all the parties between February 7 and March 2. With gay marriage rights firmly on the agenda again this year, 2014's Mardi Gras will definitely be one that's remembered.
