Here’s a short mixed list of ideas.Feb 20, 10am – 9pm, Victoria Park, City Rd, CamperdownOf course, it’s the first thing that comes to mind when you think “queer outdoors”. This long-running Mardi Gras event is a highlight of the festival, second only to the parade.
Visit the huge number of community stalls and food outlets. Buy queer merchandise; watch the adorable four-legged queers in Doggywood; be entertained by celebrity hosts, comedians, and musicians. Kid’s fairground rides, sideshow games, photo ops, sports comps, and more, all in the beautiful surrounds of Victoria Park.Feb 18 – Mar 6, Oxford St and around DarlinghurstFor two whole weeks and a bit, Oxford Street will be pulsating with performers, promenaders, and power-purchasers; Oxtravaganza is about exploring all the offerings along and around the Golden Mile.
This year, businesses need your patronage more than ever, so come and enjoy special retail promotions, live music, parade viewing parties, outdoor entertainment, art walks, food and drink deals.
