The Central Coast’s Official Annual Mardi Gras Viewing Party will be held at the Fun Haus Factory in Gosford on Saturday, March 1.
The event offers an inclusive and welcoming space for friends, family and allies to come together.
Now in its fifth year, the viewing party will be a night of joy, connection and visibility, reinforcing this year’s 2025 Coastal Twist Festival theme, Strength in Unity.
Coastal Twist creative director Glitta Supernova said in a world where LGBTQIA+ rights were still being fought for, the gathering was a powerful reminder that progress was achieved through togetherness.
“Mardi Gras is more than just a parade; it is a statement of love, resilience, and the ongoing fight for equality,” she said.
“For over five years, the Central Coast’s LGBTQIA+ community has proudly taken to the Mardi Gras stage, showcasing our region’s creativity and resilience.
“In today’s divisive times, we must stand together for meaningful change.
“No-one is free until we are all free.
“Our Mardi Gras float is a symbol of that unity, creativity and unwavering pride.”
Attendees can expect an electric atmosphere as the spectacular parade is streamed live on a massive screen, bringing all the excitement and energy of Mardi Gras directly to the Coast.
The night will be filled with celebration as the community cheers on the Coastal Twist Festival float – a vibrant representation of the local pride festival in one of the world’s most renowned LGBTQIA+ parades – while also taking in the full spectacle of the event.
Food and drinks will be available throughout the night, with Beau’s Burgers offerings complemented by a selection of cocktails, mocktails and premium local beverages.
The venue is fully accessible, with comfortable seating to ensure that everyone, regardless of age, ability, or sexuality, feels welcome to enjoy the festivities in an inclusive space.
Entry is $10 plus a sliding-scale donation.
The event is family-friendly, with free admission for under-15s accompanied by an adult.
Spaces are limited, so attendees are encouraged to register early at funhausfactory.org.au/whats-on/mardi-gras-2025.
