Sydney Mardi Gras is surely one of the highlights of the annual Pride calendar!

Celebrating it's 30th anniversary in 2008 - it hosts some of the biggest parties on the planet with, on occasion, up to 30,000 people attending the post-parade Saturday party at Fox Studios.

The event spans a few weeks towards the end of the Ozzy summer in February and March and not surprisingly attract a global following. It's good... it's very, very good. And if you can stomach the carbon footprint (or, better yet, find a way to get there by boat!) then it's well worth the trip!

Highlights for the Real City team include the fabulous Harbour Party, the scantily-clad boys at the Pool Party, the Parade and Fox Studio party, Toy Box and - if there's any energy left - the party at Home overlooking Darling Harbour.
