Twenty10 celebrated Sydney WorldPride with a full program of youth events and activities for the 2023 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras and Sydney World Pride festivals!

This year, we had everything from inclusive parties and celebrations for young people, queer focused excursions, a youth shorts film screening event and a hugely anticipated drag make up workshop! And of course, we returned to Mardi Gras by marching in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras parade, along with our amazing friends at QLife. We wore t-shirts featuring the winning design from our t-shirt competition, where we saw some amazing work from young LGBTIQA+ creatives across NSW!

We were so proud to offer an incredibly full calendar of events tailored to young folks across Sydney WorldPride.
