Outback Mardi Gras

4 Oct – 6 Oct 2024

A celebration of diversity and inclusion in the most unlikely of places, 2024 will be the fourth Outback Mardi Gras.

What began as a ‘one night only’ birthday party for one of the locals has transformed into an annual festival of madness ‘n’ mayhem with more colour and movement than a 1980’s hairdo, spanning the entire weekend of the October Queens Birthday long weekend.

Friday night is BLINGO! a rather naughty take on bingo hosted by the one and only Heidi Hole, and featuring a feathery fantoozie of friends in frocks to help make the night a truly unforgettable experience. Costumery of the nonsensical variety expected but not compulsory...

Saturday is MARDI GRAS!!! Tickets to this event are limited so you NEED TO BOOK EARLY!

Pre march drinks and mingling before we make our way along Sapphire Rubyvale Road to where Multi-Award Winning Entertainer and Drag Extraordinaire Wanda Dparke hosts and entertains us with her hilarious wit, stunning vocals and gorgeous frocks as we wine and dine beneath the stars. Don’t be shy, your Mardi Gras outfit could win you a fabulous prize!!

Sunday is PRIDE DAY. Pride Day is an Open Day for the entire world to get involved with! Regardless of who you are or where you are from, the GEMFIELDS QUEER COMMUNITY invites you to be a part of a family friendly fun day with highlights such as a DOG SHOW, DRAG SHOW, old-school games, kids corner with crafts and face painting, food, bar, and entertainment throughout the day.
