As the sun rises on the first day of the 2024 Sydney Mardi Gras, Rainbow Elders from Gadigal, Bidjigal and Birrabirragal Land will conduct five simultaneous Welcome to Country and Smoking Ceremonies. Here is where we welcome our family and allies to one of the biggest LGBTQIA+ Pride celebrations in the world. Here is where Sydney and Australian Pride shines bright.<br /> <strong><br /> When: 16 February, 2024. 6:00am-7:15am Locations: Bondi Beach, Taylor Square, Victoria Park, Hordern Pavillion & Sydney Town Hall </strong></p> <p><strong>Progress Pride Flag Raising </strong></p> <p>An event that is fairly self-explanatory, put this on the list as the event that officially kicks off the Mardi Gras Festival. Join our community at midday on the first day of the Festival at Sydney Town Hall as they raise the Progress Pride Flag. Here it will fly high and proud from 16 February to 3 March. </p> <p><strong>When: 16 February, 2024. 12:00pm Location: Sydney Town Hall </strong></p> <p><strong>Sunrise Service of Reflection </strong></p> <p>Another event to add to the list of spiritual and emotional experiences that reflect on the struggle and resilience of our community. As the sun rises on the second week of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, the Marks Park Dawn Sunrise Service of Reflection takes place. Set to the backdrop of the Rise Memorial, a site dedicated to the victims and survivors of targeted homophobic and transphobic violence from the 1970s to the 1990s in Sydney and NSW. At this monument to the suffering, perseverance and bravery of our queer and trans elders, we celebrate how far we have come and we reflect on our commitment to removing bigotry and prejudice from our world.<br /> <strong><br /> When: 24 February, 2024. 6:15am – 7:00am Location: Rise Memorial, Marks Park, Tamarama </strong></p> <p><strong>Zoo Walk </strong></p> <p>A Mardi Gras event truly like no other, the Zoo Walk with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence is a wholesome way to celebrate Mardi Gras and see one of the city’s favourite spots, Taronga Zoo. Perfect for those visiting from overseas, as it gives you a quintessential Sydney day out – but GAYER! The adventure starts before you even reach the zoo, with a short ferry ride across the Sydney Harbour to the backdrop of the iconic Sydney Harbour Bridge – the ideal spot for an Insta selfie. Once you arrive at Taronga Zoo, you will be met with Zoo Guides and the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence who will take you on a tour of the famous zoo. Roos, and koalas and dingos, oh my! are just some of the native animals you’ll get to see, among hundreds of other enchanting animals from all over the world. The tour ends by midday, where it wraps up with the Australian Bird Show, and even better, you can choose to stay after it ends and join the Sisters for lunch! Please note that while the tour is free, attendees still need to pay to enter the Zoo. </p> <p><em>Who Are the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence? They are a queer charitable, protest and performance arts group which started in San Francisco, 1979. Utilising drag and religious imagery to satirize the particularly harmful and homophobic beliefs of Christian Church.</em> </p> <p><strong>When: 29 February, 2024. 9:00am – 12:00am Location: Taronga Zoo, via Ferry from Circular Quay </strong></p> <p><strong>Queer Art After Hours</strong> </p> <p>A vibrant celebration at the Art Gallery of New South Wales where LGBTQIA+ artists, performers, and storytellers illuminate the campus with their creativity and unique experiences. Join us for an evening filled with diverse art pieces and colorful expressions, transforming the gallery into a monument of queer culture. </p> <p><strong>Wed February 28, 2024 Art Gallery of New South Wales 5pm – 10pm | Free </strong></p> <p><em>For more information about events during the festival go to <a href="http://www.mardigras.org.au">www.mardigras.org.au</a></em></p> <p><em><span lang="EN-US">For the latest LGBTIQA+ Sister Girl and Brother Boy </span><a href="https://qnews.com.au/news/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://qnews.com.au/news/&source=gmail&ust=1695183585448000&usg=AOvVaw1RhOPCdOxGU49YPvSBQdD8"><span lang="EN-US">news,</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span><a href="https://qnews.com.au/entertainment/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://qnews.com.au/entertainment/&source=gmail&ust=1695183585448000&usg=AOvVaw2Sncoqw8jHilIHewUqerFK"><span lang="EN-US">entertainment,</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> </span><a href="https://qnews.com.au/community/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://qnews.com.au/community/&source=gmail&ust=1695183585448000&usg=AOvVaw0NQzo9W_lyf27106sH3zn1"><span lang="EN-US">community stories</span></a><span lang="EN-US"> in Australia, visit </span><a href="https://qnews.com.au/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://qnews.com.au/&source=gmail&ust=1695183585448000&usg=AOvVaw0ZOQuQt2ZWvZmLOEDgHneC"><span lang="EN-US">qnews.com.au</span></a><span lang="EN-US">.
