Our Mission

SGLMG exists primarily to develop the Sydney Mardi Gras for the benefit of Sydney's LGBTQI community, the enjoyment of a wider audience and as a global beacon of diversity, acceptance and LGBTQI rights.

We do this through:

  • Providing the opportunity for LGBTQI individuals and groups to use the Sydney Mardi Gras as a statement of pride and to promote a broader message of diversity and acceptance;
  • Anchoring the Parade in a broader program of cultural and social activities for the enjoyment of local audiences and to attract visitors to Sydney;
  • Providing resources and opportunities to our community for creative and political expression;
  • Embracing individuals and groups from the broader community who share our vision;
  • Constantly improving creativity and production values on our events, including bringing the world's best artists, thinkers and entertainers to Sydney.

The purpose and action which we have developed for the Sydney Mardi Gras, our key festival and Parade held in Sydney each year is: We inspire the world to love each other by celebrating the power and beauty of diversity.
