Glitter-clad partygoers are making a riotous rainbow return to the queer community's spiritual home as Sydney's Mardi Gras moves back to Oxford Street.
Hundreds of thousands of sequined revellers are lining Sydney's inner-city streets on Saturday to watch the 45th Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade, which officially starts at 7pm AEDT.
The parade has returned to its heritage-listed route after the COVID-19 pandemic forced the event to relocate to the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2021 and 2022.
