GPA Mardi Gras Float

SWEET TRANSVESTITE
Don't Dream It, Be It! — A Tribute to Tim Curry as Dr. Frank-N-Furter
Saturday, 6 March 2027

Picture this: A giant sparkling red lips float, a troupe of beautiful lab-coated Transylvanians, beads, beakers that bubble with love, and a whole street shouting 'Don't dream it, BE IT!'

WHO CAN JOIN?
Everyone. Seriously. We are intentionally building a float that looks like Australia — different ages, skin tones, genders, sexualities, cultures, body types, abilities. If you've ever wanted to do Mardi Gras but thought you didn't belong, you belong with us.

WHAT'S INVOLVED?
Parade Day — 6 March — full day of joy, dancing, and marching.

DIY COSTUME:
We are going for unified but individual — think classic Frank lab look:
Green lab coat + black or purple sequin corset / bodysuit + fishnets + your own personal glam — pearls, top hats, heavy makeup, wigs, flowers for HYPERBLOOM.

We have a costume guide and budget-friendly options. We can help.

IMPORTANT:

• This ticket is for the parade participant experience — parade entry is managed by GPA • No refunds after 1 Feb 2027 (we pre-pay float costs.
