Parade Weekend Package (4 nights)
Watch the Parade in comfort, then party in style!
This is the perfect Mardi Gras Parade long weekend, giving you exclusive access to one of the best viewing areas along the Parade route, easy entry into the post-Parade Carnival, the following day’s Harbour ’10 and Monday’s glamorous Pool Party.
You fly in on Friday and the fun starts immediately with your name on the door at the official Mardi Gras Festival Bar. Your host that night will be the Prince of Polyester himself Bob Downe. Expect it to be heaving with all the newly arrived interstate and international visitors joining locals to party into the night.
Relax on Parade day because there’s a big night ahead. You don’t have to waste your afternoon trying to secure a great spot on the Parade route and a milk crate to stand on. You will have exclusive access to the Mardi Gras Members’ Box. You’ll have access to a bar, food, toilets and plenty of room to move around and stay close the action.
After the Parade you will just be a short stroll from the site of the Parade Carnival. This new event will bring together the parade floats, participants, volunteers and select others to celebrate another colourful Parade. Get up close to check out the award-winning floats (and marching boys and girls). Dance through the night at one of the indoor venues.
Sunday is recovery day and there’s nowhere better to do that than at Harbour ’10, one of the most famous dance parties in the world, set in the amazing surroundings of Sydney’s Botanic Garden. Two fabulous garden dance floors, a gorgeous party crowd and cocktails in the sun. Perfect!
Monday is recovery day from the recovery day before, this time at the glitzy Ivy Pool & Bar. This is Sydney’s venue of the moment. Even the changing rooms have their own dance floor!
If you’re feeling extra adventurous you can also take part in a huge Mardi Gras art installation taking place by the harbour and involving American artist Spencer Tunick. You’ll need to be ready to shed your inhibitions (and clothes) in the name of art.
