This year's parade featured some 200 floats and groups of street dancers, led by 'Dykes on Bikes'.

Pop star Cher made a brief appearance on the parade route and will headline the official Mardi Gras party.

The Sydney Mardi Gras was Australia's first. It was born as a protest against the country's discrimination of homosexuals.
