Sydney’s annual Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is going to take on a different look in 2021. The parade’s put on a new look, the venues are hosting different levels of events (none) and the people won’t be as thick on the ground as they have been over the course of the past 40+ years.
But that doesn’t mean you can’t watch the festivities from a safe and semi-responsible distance! Here’s where to get your bookings in to enjoy with friends on a screen in quality venues.
