The mardi gras festival in Sydney lasts for 3-4 weeks culminating in a parade on the evening of the 1st Saturday in March.

Go for as long as you can and make the most of the art exhibitions, theatre, film, cabaret, club nights, fair day. Make sure that you arrive early for the parade as estimates put the crowd at between 350,000 and 500,000!

One essential word that you cannot survive in Australia without is ‘daggy’. And if you’re gay (or gay-friendly), and you’re in Sydney, and you know what daggy is, this is the place to come and express it. Palms makes a nice change from the posturing that you get in so many other places along Oxford St (one of Sydney’s main gay streets). People are friendly, and the atmosphere is relaxed.
