Welcome to the Volunteers Portal for the 2026 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras season! Thank you for your interest in playing an important role across our festival and events.
Applications for both Fair Day and Parade roles are now open! Other events will open soon, so keep checking back, or sign up to follow the Mardi Gras newsletter here.
To apply, you will need to first create an Event Volunteer Profile, and then head back here to select the events and roles you would like to apply to volunteer for. If you already have a profile, you can check if any details need to be updated by following the ‘check your profile’ button.
For roles in our Medical Team, you'll need to create a Medical Volunteer Profile, and upload a minimum of a first aid certificate.
Once you’ve confirmed your profile is good to go, select the event from the list below, and check out the roles and descriptions available. Some roles require certain experience, so read through to see where you know your unique skills will shine, ensure your available for the date and time, and hit ‘Sign Up to Volunteer’.
You will receive a confirmation email, so check spam/junk and filtered folders, or reach out with any questions to volunteers@mardigrasarts.org.au. Happy Mardi Gras!!
