Sydney Mardi Gras Parade
The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of the world’s largest and most vibrant LGBTQ+ cultural festivals, held annually in February and March. This two-week-long celebration includes a variety of events, with the highlight being the spectacular Mardi Gras Parade on Oxford Street in Sydney.
Dykes on Bikes
One of the most iconic elements of the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade is the Dykes on Bikes. This group, which originated in San Francisco in 1976, is a lesbian motorcycle club that leads pride parades around the world. The Sydney chapter was founded in 1988 and has been a staple of the Mardi Gras Parade ever since. They symbolize power, unity, and visibility for the LGBTQ+ community, riding motorcycles in solidarity and pride.
The Sydney Mardi Gras Parade is not just a celebration; it is a powerful statement of love, acceptance, and equality, making it one of the most anticipated events on the global LGBTQ+ calendar.

We put a lot of time and effort to representing our community and delighting the crowds and riding out first each year since 1991. Our National Broadcaster ABC could not be bothered televising us this year. What a joke!!! We really appreciate you!!!
