Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival 2026

Welcome to the 48th Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Festival
13 February - 01 March, 2026

ECSTATICA is an act of euphoric rebellion.. a collision of glamour, grit, and raw joy that burns brighter when we stand together.

For two intoxicating weeks, Sydney will ache with rebellion and pride - the streets, the stages, the rooftops, the dance floors - all throbbing with pleasure, defiance, and the kind of freedom that turns heads.

From the flag's first rise to the last wild dance at Laneway, expect heat, spectacle, and sinful delight. ECSTATICA isn't just a festival - it's a full-body act of queer defiance!

This is our party. This is our power.

Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras acknowledges that our events take place on Aboriginal land. We acknowledge the Gadigal, Cammeraygal, Bidigal, Darug and Dharawal people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Sydney Basin.

We pay our respects to Elders both past and present, and we'd like to extend a special acknowledgement to all Rainbow Elders. Recognising the continuing connection to lands, skies, waterways and communities.

Always was, always will be Aboriginal Land.
