First Nations First Light: A festival welcome
To commemorate the start of Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2025, join us by the shores of Bondi Beach for a Welcome to Country, Smoking Ceremony and performances to welcome festival-goers onto the unceded and sacred Gadigal, Bidjigal and Birrabirragal Lands.
Free to join, Festival First Light marks the official commencement of the annual LGBTQIA+SB celebrations while honouring the longest-continuous culture on the planet.
