Rainbow Families Mardi Gras Ballot

Your chance to march with Rainbow Families at Mardi Gras 2026!

The Sydney Mardi Gras Parade is one of the biggest events of the year, and we can't wait to share the experience with our incredible community.
This year's Mardi Gras theme is Ecstatica!
Our Rainbow Families theme is still secret squirrel for now.

We know so many of you want to march with us, but with limited spots, we will be running a ballot to make the allocation fair for everyone.
As a volunteer-powered charity, we are offering tickets first to families who have actively volunteered with us in the past year as our way of saying thank you. Following this, all remaining tickets will be allocated through a random draw.
We are thrilled to have Fertility First sponsoring our Rainbow Families float and Genea Newcastle sponsoring our Regional Rainbow Families float.
We have also received some funding from Qantas to fly families to Sydney to march with us. Please let us know if you are interested in this :)

Good luck, we will do our best! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us at [email protected]
