The Mardi Gras annual parade, Bad Bunny and Grace Jones will headline a bumper nightlife lineup in Sydney on Saturday that will draw more than 350,000 people and test the city’s security and transport systems.

Sydney’s Mardi Gras showpiece, its sequin-spangled parade, will transform Oxford Street with 170 floats, 10,000 marchers and 250,000 spectators, its organisers estimated on Wednesday.
