Happy Mardi Gras Everyone!

This year's Mardi Gras parade, themed 'History of the World' starts tonight at 7.45pm. The parade will take you on a sexy and bawdy rollercoaster ride through the ages, looking at gay history and shining a pink spotlight on some of mankind’s great figures and events.

Pay homage to the pioneers of the queer world as we take a trip down the memory lane that is Oxford Street. From gay culture of the modern world right back to ancient times, queer icons of all Ages will be marching together for one night only.

The History of the World theme will be brought to life along the Parade route by six stunning artworks created by Sydney artists Scott Elk.

Whatever you do, be part of this magical journey of colour, energy, dance and costume as we deliver a historical night at the 2010 Mardi Gras Parade!

Join hundreds of thousands of visitors in Sydneysiders along the Parade route. It's very much first come, first served and people get out early to get a great spot.
