Parade Viewing Area

Nestled among the beating heart of Mardi Gras Parade sits a cool oasis where the sunshine  reigns  supreme, even by night. Where the most exclusive view of the Parade is yours to be had — welcome to Club Tropicana . 

This year, the Mardi Gras Parade viewing area will be transformed into a fresh, funky and wonderfully kitsch holiday caravan park known as Club Tropicana. Owned and operated by former 1950s Hollywood starlet, Miss Fran Gipani, Club Tropicana is spilling over with palm trees and festive music and serves up a gorgeous tropical holiday vibe right here at our very own Taylor Square.

For the first time ever, there will be a raised viewing platform on Taylor Square forecourt to take advantage of Parade route’s most desired vantage point. This will ensure sweeping views of all the action of the Parade making it an unforgettable experience.

In the Mardi Gras Parade viewing area, everyone will feel like one of the glitterati. Guests can rub shoulders with VIP’s and dance to tunes from our fantastic DJ’s while being awed by this once-in-a-lifetime Parade viewing experience and relax away from the crowds.

The easy access to bars and food purchase as well as toilet facilities help ensure you have everything you need and won’t have to leave the unique experience of Club Tropicana. This super-sized take on the traditional Parade viewing area is a tropical party oasis and the coolest way to take in all the spectacle, glitz and glamour of Sydney Mardi Gras Parade 2012.
