Overview
The Parade and Mardi Gras are synonymous: it’s impossible to imagine one without the other. The historic centrepiece, the jewel in the sparkly tiara, the very raison d’être of the festival is an important, entertaining, and uplifting celebration of all things LGBTIQ. Hundreds of beautiful floats, themselves testaments to the immense creative talents of the queer community, drawn from all walks of life glide down Oxford Street to the thunderous adulation of tens of thousands of revellers.
Unfortunately entries for this cavalcade of queerness have now closed however you can still get down and share the love. A word to the wise though, unless you’ve bought tickets to one of the many Parade events held by pubs and clubs with a view of the route or you know a friend with a balcony overlooking Oxford Street, get there early as spots will go fast.
