As Sydney prepares to host 2023’s hottest party, Southern Crossings, specialists in bespoke luxury travel in Australia and New Zealand, has curated two customisable Sydney World Pride itineraries, with special access and exclusive inclusions, that invite visitors to join the celebrations in style!
The colourful Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is a highlight of the Sydney annual events calendar; and in 2023, Australia’s cosmopolitan harbour city will also host World Pride. Together these events will deliver a celebration of Australian LGBTQIA+ fun and fabulousness with over 300 free and ticketed events across the city.
Hosted in the Southern Hemisphere for the first time and celebrated in iconic Sydney locations – from the Harbour Bridge to Bondi Beach, Sydney World Pride is a 17-day party with a purpose that is set to showcase the city’s spectacular scenery, irreverent sense of fun, fabulous food and wine and a genuinely warm welcome to all.

Southern Crossings has secured access to the festival’s hottest events – and curated a couple of exclusive-access events of their own that invite visitors to really enjoy the Sydney World Pride and Mardi Gras festivities.
With the choice of two customisable itineraries – a Short and Sweet 5-day option or the Big and Bold 12-day package; Southern Crossings clients can enjoy a collection of epic parties and parades, exclusive experiences and access to otherwise ‘sold-out’ events.
Both itineraries also include;
- an exclusive Welcome Party at a Sydney socialite’s private penthouse (that also featured as the set for Kylie Minogue’s Especially for you music video) hosted by effervescent actress and art-director, Christa Billich, and
- a special-access cocktail party at a glitzy and glamorous venue on Oxford Street to watch the passing Sydney Mardi Gras parade.

For those who are keen to kick on, Southern Crossings also has access to a limited number of tickets to the otherwise sold-out official Mardi Gras After Party – an annual highlight event.
Places on both itineraries are strictly limited, and interested travellers are encouraged to reach out to the Southern Crossings Travel Design team to secure their Sydney World Pride travels today.
