Bringing together Australia's queer design community to jumpstart the party that is Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras 2025.

Presented by Architecture with Pride, the Architecture Ball is back to bring together our design community's LGBTQIA+ practitioners (and all our allies) for a damn good party with a line up of some of Sydney's best queer DJs and performers. Music by Eddie and BEMAN, with performances by Dior Drop, Axl Rod, and Hannah Conda!

This year, we want you to dress inspired by our Mardi Gras float theme 'Reflections'. Make a statement in your best shiny sparkles, glitz and glam. Think mirrors, metallic, holographic, sequins, iridescence... irresistible.

If you've ever wanted to party with a bunch of queer architects and designers, then don't miss this filthy hot space-making party.

First round at an Architecture with Pride event is on us.

The Architecture Ball will take place on the land of the Gadi people. Always was, always will be.

Free tickets for First Nations people & trans women of colour. Get in touch via our website or at hello@architecturewithpride.com.au

The Imperial Basement is a fully accessible venue. If you have specific requests around accessibility, drop us a line at hello@architecturewithpride.com.au.
