Mardi Gras is my favourite party that Sydney throws. New Years Eve might have the most amazing fireworks in the world, but Mardi Gras beats it hands down on the fabulous sense of community. At NYE, we sit on our little blankets carefully guarding our precious few meters of personal space, at Mardi Gras, I never get that feeling. Everyone likes to have a chat; share information about their costumes, have a bit of a joke and a giggle. The atmosphere is wonderful.
Here are a few pics from that prep prior to the parade.
