Inclusion, equality and amplifying the voices of the marginalised will underpin the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2020 celebrations taking place from February 14 until March 1.

On Friday the highly-anticipated program was announced, and from Eurovisions Conchita Wurst to Koori Gras and an adult play land afterparty, the lineup for the What Matters themed event is spectacularly diverse.

This year we celebrate those at the forefront of the fight for equality. From ground-breaking queer artists to trailblazing thought leaders, Mardi Gras 2020 is an opportunity to visit the next destinations on our journey of diversity, inclusion and social justice, Mardi Gras Arts Interim CEO, Grant Lowe said on Friday.

With Sydney named as the host city for WorldPride 2023, there has never been a more pertinent time to celebrate LBGTQI+ culture and uplift every shade of the rainbow.
