Mardi Gras Party is strictly an 18+ event.

DO: bring your valid and current government-issued ID.
DON’T: bring a photo, screenshot, photocopy or illustration (no matter how good).

Without a valid and current ID, you won’t gain entry to Mardi Gras Party. Physical IDs, including a driver’s license, government-issued passport, or Australian government-issued proof of age card are good to go, and digital IDs are accepted in NSW.

Lost property will be available at the info tent. If you have lost something, please speak to a member of staff at the info tent to have them retrieve it for you. All uncollected items will be handed over to the local police the following day for collection. Details on lost property collection will also be posted on our socials after the event day.

The set times and event map for Mardi Gras Party will be available closer to the event date. Please check back here later, and we’ll post it on socials when it’s ready.

Illicit substances are prohibited, and our events abide by state and territory laws.

First aid services will be on site in case of any medical incidents. While they will have over-the-counter medication available such as Panadol, aspirin, antihistamines, as well as sanitary items for you to access inside the event, we recommend taking any required medication before coming in if possible (e.g. antihistamines can be taken once daily and last 24 hours).

You can find their locations on the official Mardi Gras PARTY event maps released closer to the event date.

Selling tickets through any third-party website, including Viagogo, Facebook, Gumtree, and eBay, goes against the Mardi Gras Party ticket T&Cs. By the same token, we recommend against buying tickets from the above third-party platforms as there’s no guarantee they’re (a) legit tickets, or (b) that the seller hasn’t resold one valid ticket to multiple people and there is no way for us to validate them.

Mardi Gras Party staff and security cannot accept illegitimate and invalid tickets.
