With Sydney Mardi Gras Parade only a week away Airbnb, one of the festival sponsors, is promoting a unique accommodation competition dubbed The Big Gay Stay. The winning couple will get to spend the night in a Mardi Gras float which will be parked overnight in Sydney’s Royal Botanic Gardens waking to prime harbour views, before joining the parade on Saturday the seventh of March.
