Mardi Gras returns this February and March, celebrating ECSTATICA – a season of vibrant, joyful, and defiant queer energy.
From the femme fire of Ultra Violet with DJs Sveta Gilerman and Jess Hill at City Recital Hall to trans and gender diverse joy at Black Cherry by Mother Kianna Louboutin Oricci at the National Art School, the beats are bold and the energy unstoppable.
Laugh loud at Laugh Out Proud and cool off at Kaftana and Paradiso pool parties presented by party superstar DJ Dan Murphy.
Take in the Parade from the Glitter Club, the ultimate Parade viewing area at Taylor Square, before closing your weekend out at Laneway.
And, of course, the legendary MARDI GRAS PARTY is back, renewed and reimagined for 2026. Sign up here for more information.
