2024 Festival: 16 February – 3 March
No future is a match for a future where we’re together.
The 2024 Festival will call on our communities to imagine and demand the world for ourselves we rightfully deserve under the theme Our Future…
Our Future… beckons all to participate, influence, and champion LGBTQIA+ causes. It’s a chance to look forward while honouring the past, and will be a testament to the power of coming together to manifest endless possibilities.
“Our Future… is not just a theme but a call to action, a bold invitation to define and shape our path forward as a community. It acknowledges our past, but encourages us to envision what comes next. It’s a statement that is open to interpretation and engagement, irrespective of geographical location or physical attendance. It’s our collective journey and story to share.”
Gil Beckwith, Acting CEO of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
